• Night shortwave reception is almost always better than
daytime shortwave reception
• During daytime, the most active shortwave bands are 13,
15, 16, 19, and 22 meters, 16 and 19 usually best. At
night, the most active bands are 25, 31, 41 and 49
meters, with 31 and 49 usually best
• Around sunset and sunrise, both the day and night bands
may be good. It pays to experiment with this
• Getting very close to a window often helps signal
strengths
• Holding the radio often helps signal strengths (this may
also be true for AM and FM reception)
