Explore Your World with Short Wave Radio

Shortwave radio, which uses frequencies between 3 MHz and 30MHz, got its name because these frequencies have shorter wavelengths than the long radio waves more commonly used in earlier days.

Getting into SWLing requires some basic equipment, which can be added to as your SWLing hobby grows. To start listening to shortwave radio broadcasts, you'll need to have a shortwave receiver and a good antenna.
