D A Y BANDS vs. NIGHT BANDS - it’ s important Because shortwave signals depend on such factors as the sun, the ionosphere and interaction with the earth itself , signals cannot be heard on all bands throughout the day . Some bands are best during the daylight hours , and some are best at night.
GETTING ST ARTED WITH SINGLE SIDEBAND (SSB) Many high-end shortwave r adios have a feature called SSB , a highly efficient w ay of electronically processing transmitted and received signals for two-w ay commu- nication. Examples of this are amateur radio (hams), maritime and aeronautical communication.
INTRODUCTION T his Quick Guide outlines the basics for listening to AM, FM and Shortwave . It also covers setting the clock and timers and storing stations into memory . Not all features and capabilities of the E1 are addressed here . We encour age you to refer to the owner’ s manual for a full understanding of the E1.
