What is SSB shortwave radio?

SSB (Single Sideband) is an obscure but very important way to communicate via radio . It is used primarily for two-way voice communication by ham radio operators, aircraft and air traffic control (ATC), ships at sea, military and spy networks. Occasionally some shortwave broadcast stations use this format.

What is broadcast on shortwave radio?

Shortwave broadcasts provide the major source of news and popular entertainment in much of the world except in highly developed regions such as western Europe, North America, and Japan, where government or commercial programming is transmitted within other bands of frequencies.

Is it worth buying a shortwave radio?

If you want a complete shortwave experience so you can listen to amateur broadcasters and communications from around the world, it's worth the cost . Overall convenience. Other than the more technical stuff, you should consider features that make a radio fit your specific needs or interests.

Is SSB radio worth it?

In short, “ the advantage of SSB is its narrow bandwidth and higher power efficiency than the other voice modes ,” according to radio experts at hamradioschool.com. It turns out that SSB uses half of AM's bandwidth to transmit so I'd say that's definitely more efficient.
