Shortwave radio is a type of radio technology used for long-distance communication. It uses frequencies between 3 and 30 MHz, and it is able to propagate over long distances due to its ability to refract off the ionosphere. This type of radio is often used for international broadcasting and for military and amateur radio communications.
The purpose of this article is to explore how far shortwave radio can travel. We will look at the factors that affect the range of shortwave radio, examples of ranges achieved, and the limits of shortwave radio in terms of distance and interference from other signals.
Exploring the Reach of Shortwave Radio: How Far Can It Travel?
When considering the reach of shortwave radio, there are several factors that need to be taken into account. These include frequency, antenna size, power output, and atmospheric conditions.
