| | Shortwave bands - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | They are the primary medium for applications such as marine communication, international broadcasting, and worldwide amateur radio activity because they take advantage of ionospheric skip propagation to send data around the world. | | | The "11-meter" (27 MHz) band is the most significant location allocated by most countries for Citizen's Band service, though due to the band's propagation characteristics, which allow long-distance interference with local signals, most land mobile radio activity has moved to VHF or UHF. | | | Many bands, most notably the VHF 6 meters band, are notable for their behavior that depends on the season and the level of solar activity. |

| | A superbly produced CD of Natural Radio sounds is available, featuring Steve's amazing recordings. | | | The quickest way to experience natural radio sounds is to check out Steve McGreevy's sound archive at the University of Iowa, for recordings in WAV format. | | | Natural radio includes a fascinating array of electrical signals that are produced by a host of sources, including interaction of lightning energy with the earth's magnetic field (whistlers), to geological disturbances (possible earthquake precursors), to the Northern Lights (auroral chorus)...even tiny electric fields produced by the wings of flying insects! |

| | Radio even crept into the room at Heaton School in the words of a song. | | | I didn't know anything about the radio spectrum then; that there was a short wave band further up the dial from the broadcast band, or about other bands beyond that that now contain radar, TV, FM, and satellite signals. | | | The radio was intended to pick up signals from the broadcast band AM stations, as your kitchen radio does today. |

| | Solar Activity and Radio Communication |
| | The last week of April, about two or three days to analyze data and make inferences about the relationship between solar activity and radio communication. | | | In a radio, sounds are converted into radio waves which travel through the air at a certain frequency and are then converted back to the original sound. | | | Most radios also give you the choice of listening to AM (amplitude modulation), FM (frequency modulation) and in some cases, short wave radio. |

| | Radio Activity -- book review |
| | Perhaps it’s a satirical poke at the life of a radio disc jockey -- existence is so dull that antagonizing killers and extortionists seems like a fun diversion -- but as a convincing depiction of human behavior, it falls short. | | | is the credible transformation of a radio disc jockey into a private detective. | | | An aimless, down-on-his-luck radio man stumbles into a new town and finds himself responsible for turning an aimless, down-on-its-luck radio station into a serious classic rock station with integrity and credibility. |

| | "Radio Stars" features deep human vocals and the robot vocals from "Radioland." The only other thing included in the three-and-a-half-minute long track are these like broadcasting signals that go on through the whole track. | | | Kraftwerk built upon the international success of Autobahn by expanding their conceptual conceits to an album-length exploration of radio waves (and the band's other favorite wavelengths of the electromagnetic spectrum). | | | You can hear the genuine affection and romantic notions they clearly had for radio in all of its aspects. |

| | By the time I reached the exciting conclusion of Radio Activity, the close relationship I had developed with Rick left me wanting to know what humourous life adventures lie ahead for him, as he seems to be, at last, poised to ascend in his radio career, as well as in his love life. | | | Unlike Fitzhugh's previous works, which often featured outrageous, hilarious, though implausible, scenes, Radio Activity is more grounded in reality - which I liked. | | | This smart, satiric, southern romp of a novel draws heavily from the author's own experience as a Mississippi-born FM radio disc jockey from the 1970s. |

| | There's been some confusion about this album, because of the word play on "radio activity," as in traffic heard on the bands, versus "radioactivity," as in nuclear radiation. | | | It can be seen that all but "Geiger Counter" (an instrumental) and "Uranium" are in fact about shortwave radio. | | | A lot of the backgrounds use a German machine that sounds like, but isn't, the more famous "Mellotron." On top, tinkly little tunes fade in and out of synthesized radio noises, or change channels. |

| | ARRLWeb: "It Seems to Us . . ." |
| | Also reflective of the societal shift toward multitasking is the fact that "listening to ham bands," probably while also doing something else, has become the most popular Amateur Radio activity. | | | If you spend time listening to the bands, probably you have come to a similar conclusion with regard to declining activity. | | | Compared to the results of a similar survey conducted in 1992, the new survey showed increasing age and declining activity in the amateur population, with inactive respondents most often citing competition for time and the use of other communications media as reasons for their inactivity. |

| | Radio Activity by Bill Fitzhugh PopMatters Book Review |
| | The plot, such as it is, goes like this: Rick Shannon is a FM radio disc jockey who has too much love for classic rock to play the current pop-music crap and so finds himself relegated to a backwoods Mississippi town as a replacement for a DJ who has mysteriously gone missing. | | | The radio station manager is a beefy misogynistic redneck who used to play football and is part of the old boy's network that runs the town. | | | While decrying the pop culture mass-produced state of the music industry, Fitzhugh veers dangerously close to contributing to the mass-produced made-for-the-movies state of the publishing industry. |
