What are the HF bands?

[helvis]

I am interested in SW radio. I have a Grundig SW I bought at RS. I do get lost on those bands but it’s fun to explore them.

What you need is my charts of all the bands - they're here but perhaps the system has moved them....

helvis, I moved your post to another forum. Please don't hijack another thread as it's considered a big no-no here

Your future cooperation is appreciated

Which Grundig SW radio is it? Some Grundigs have the SW broadcast bands programmed into them. You hit a couple buttons and it switches you to a band. I have a Grundig that will toggle up from one SW Broadcast band to another.

For a new person to SW, the SW broadcast bands are like several MW/AM bands placed in different areas of the SW spectrum. If you look at it that way, it's a little easier to understand. They used to almost be as crowded as the MW / AM band is at night. But over the years, a bit less so...

Happy hunting.

Here's a link that shows who's broadcasting and on what frequency. Handy if you want to go after a region.. https://www.short-wave.info/?freq=9395

Here's an HF Band Plan I've used for many years. The original is in an Excel spreadsheet if you, or someone else, prefers that.
