Follow these guidelines for best listening results. Because shortwave signals depend on such factors as the sun, the ionosphere and 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. If the term "band" is new to you, please read the section titled, "WHAT IS A SHORTAVE BAND?" on page 9. DAYTIME LISTENING Shortwave listening is generally at its poorest during the daylight hours of about 10 a. m. The major reason for this is that the broadcasters are not transmitting to North America at this time. [. . . ] Coast Guard Virginia; 0400, 0530, 1000 USB, Aeronautical CAN; Edmtn AB, each hr.
