G1100 OWNER’S MANUAL 10 INTRODUCTION TO SHORTWAVE Shortwave enables you to hear stations from around the world. Now that you have a shortwave radio, no doubt you’ll want to hear worldwide stations right away. If you’re new to shortwave, please take some time to learn the basics outlined below. To successfully listen to shortwave stations you must know how to find them. They are found in the shortwave ‘bands’. On the Mini 300, the shortwave bands are numbered 1-7.
G1100 OWNER’S MANUAL 12 GUIDELINES HERE ARE SOME GENERAL GUIDELINES • In general, the bands with frequencies below 13 MHz are better at night and the bands with frequencies above 13 MHz are best during the day. This guideline, while approximate, is a useful general rule of thumb. • During the day, listen in SW5-7. These may start getting good just before sunrise and may stay good all day, until just after sunset. • At night, listen in SW1-4.
G1100 OWNER’S MANUAL 12 GUIDELINES continued • These guidelines can be used worldwide and are not dependent on location. 13 STATIONS HOW TO IDENTIFY WHAT YOU’RE LISTENING TO AND HOW TO FIND STATIONS THAT YOU WANT TO HEAR For this, you’ll need to use a shortwave directory. We recommend the use of a comprehensive shortwave directory, especially if you want to hear specific countries or to identify the station you’re listening to.
