10 INTRODUCTION TO SHORTWAVE  
Shortwave enables you to hear stations from around the world.  
Now that you have a shortwave radio, no doubt you’ll want to  
hear worldwide stations right away. If you’re new to shortwave,  
please take some time to learn the basics outlined below. To suc-  
cessfully listen to shortwave stations you must know how to find  
them. They are found in the shortwave ‘bands’. On the Mini 300,  
the shortwave bands are numbered 1-7. The chart below and the  
one on the back of the radio show the relationship of bands 1-7  
to their official names and the frequency ranges covered by them.

G1100 OWNER’S MANUAL  
12 GUIDELINES  
HERE ARE SOME GENERAL GUIDELINES  
• In general, the bands with frequencies below 13 MHz are  
better at night and the bands with frequencies above 13 MHz  
are best during the day. This guideline, while approximate, is a  
useful general rule of thumb.  
• During the day, listen in SW5-7. These may start getting good  
just before sunrise and may stay good all day, until just after  
sunset.  
• At night, listen in SW1-4. These may start getting good just  
before sunset and may stay good all night, until just after  
sunrise.  
• Around sunrise and sunset, both the day and night bands  
might be good, sometimes exceptionally good.  
• Winter shortwave is generally somewhat better than summer  
shortwave.  
• Holding the radio while listening to shortwave will improve  
signal strengths.  
• Getting close to a window may substantially improve your  
reception because the construction materials of some buildings  
do not let signals in very well. Signals penetrate wood frame  
buildings easiest, while concrete and brick buildings usually  
block signals. If you are in a building with one or more stories  
above you, signals can also be impaired in strength. In such a  
situation, get as close to a window as possible while listening.

12 GUIDELINES continued  
• These guidelines can be used worldwide and are not  
dependent on location.  
13 STATIONS  
HOW TO IDENTIFY WHAT YOU’RE LISTENING TO AND HOW  
TO FIND STATIONS THAT YOU WANT TO HEAR  
For this, you’ll need to use a shortwave directory. We recommend  
the use of a comprehensive shortwave directory, especially if you  
want to hear specific countries or to identify the station you’re  
listening to. Such a directory will alphabetically list the countries  
broadcasting on shortwave, showing their language, target  
area, broadcast time and frequency that is used. The easiest to  
use shortwave directory is PASSPORT TO WORLD BAND RADIO,  
available in major bookstores and directly from the publisher. Pub-  
lished by International Broadcasting Services, Ltd., Box 300, Penns  
has separate chapters for English and non-English broadcasts,  
titled World-Wide Broadcasts In English and Voices From Home.
