HOW CAN I DETERMINE IF AN OUTDOOR ANTENNA

WILL HELP?

While inside your normal listening environment, tune in a rela-

tively weak shortwave signal. Staying tuned to this signal, step

outside and away from your building. If the signal strength

increases significantly, an outdoor antenna will help considerably.

If there is little or no improvement in signal strength, an outdoor

antenna will help; however, the amount of improvement will

depend on the type of antenna used. If you have questions about

outdoor antennas, call Grundig technical support.

WHAT TIME STANDARD IS USED IN SHORTWAVE

BROADCAST SCHEDULES?

Since there are many different time zones around the world, it

would be impractical for shortwave broadcasters to give broad-

cast times for each separate time zone. To simplify matters, they

list their broadcast schedules

CAN DISTANT AM/FM BROADCAST STATIONS BE

RECEIVED?

FM is strictly for local stations. Daytime AM stations usually have

a maximum distance of 50-100 miles. At night, AM broadcast

signals can sometimes be heard over much greater distances,

hundreds of miles away.

HOW IS IT THAT BROADCASTS FROM AROUND THE

WORLD CAN BE HEARD ON A SHORTWAVE RADIO?

Shortwave radio can be heard around the world because of the

earth’s ionosphere. Think of the ionosphere as a cloud-like layer

enshrouding the earth at an altitude of 140-250 kilometers (90-

160) miles). It consists of electrons and ions, the density of which

are governed by the sun and the earth’s geomagnetic forces.

Radio waves virtually bounce their way around the earth, bounc-

ing off the ionoshpere, back down to earth, often repeating this

process several times. The low angles at which this takes place

enable the radio waves to travel great distances with each

bounce. This whole process is called radio wave deflection and

ionospheric propagation.
