My New Westinghouse
#18

A very interesting set! Icon_thumbupIcon_thumbup

Agree with Brenda in that there IS a lot to DX on shortwave.

Basically, broadcast on the higher frequencies (lower wavelengths) are prevalent during the day and broadcast on the lower frequencies (higher wavelengths) are prevalent at night. Here in NC I regularly get Voice of Russia, RCI (Radio China), Radio Romania, Radio Havana. Less frequently I receive BBC, Radio Albania, Radio Teipei, and Radio Tokyo. SOMETIMES between 0100-0400 in the morning I get stations from Australia and New Zealand that broadcast vic 9MHz to 13MHz.

HOWEVER, you will find exceptions to this rule. The thing to do is tune in at different times of day on the different bands and log what you receive for future reference.

With a GOOD antenna you will also find more selections on the regular AM Broadcast band, especially at night.
