AM stands for amplitude modulation (the kind used in the am broadcast band and also on the shortwave bands).The shortwave bands begin just a little higher than the top of the am broadcast band and go up to 30000 KHz. The am broadcast band is from 530 to 1700 KHz and shortwave broadcast bands begin about 2000 KHz. The programming on shortwave stations is many types such as cultural,news,science,and just about anything about the country which the station is broadcasting from.Between the shortwave broadcast bands you can also hear amateur radio operators,military,utility stations,radio beacons,pirate broadcasters,radio telephone,aircraft, radio teletype,and lots more.The higher bands (above about 9000KHz) are daytime bands because the signals there propagate around the world in the daytime and the lower bands below about 9000 KHz are nighttime bands and you listen there from about sunset to sunrise.I could go on forever but that is probably about as you want to know about it unless you have ever listened, once you have experienced shortwave listening when conditions are right, you will be hooked on a great hobby.

What is difference between shortwave and microwave?
a microwave is something that you warm your food with and a shortwave is water wave that are short
What is the wavelength of shortwave radiation?
Ultraviolet radiation and shorter waves are consider "shortwave radiation" they begin at about 300 to 350 nm (just past violet in the visible spectrum)
What is the difference between clucth and coupling?
difference between clucth and coupling
What is the difference between a socket and a coupling?
difference between coupling and socket
What is the relation between the path difference and phase difference?
Relation between phase difference and path difference is path difference/wavelength=phase difference/2*pi
What is difference between shortwave and microwave?
a microwave is something that you warm your food with and a shortwave is water wave that are short
What is the relationship between shortwave radiation and time of day?
The relationship between the shortwave radiation and the time of the day is that both depend with the latitude.
Are shortwave radio receivers obsolete?
No, not at all. Shortwave listening is a very popular hobby. You can buy ready-made or build-it-yourself shortwave radios. However, as a lifelong shortwave listener, there is, admittedly, less to listen to on shortwave today that formerly.
When was The Shortwave Set created?
The Shortwave Set was created in 2003.
Does sunlight come in longwave radiation or shortwave?
Wein's Displacement Law explains the difference between long and shortwave radiation. Shortwave radiation has shorter, more high energy wavelengths (stronger with less distance to travel) while longwave radiation travels farther, but has less energy. Earth's radiation is 20 times longer than the maximum solar radiation, so it is referred to as longwave, while solar energy is referred to as shortwave radiation.
What is world band radio?
Shortwave.
The abbreviation DO stands for what?
shortwave listening
What actors and actresses appeared in Shortwave - 2006?

What do the abbreviation S.W.L. stand for?
shortwave listening
What region with shortwave and longwave solar radiation?
Shortwave radiation occurs from the sun which is known as K*. Longwave radiation is known as L* and can occur from clouds etc.
What kind of radiation is insolation?
"shortwave", centered in the visible
