How shortwave reaches

Beyond the internet

Shortwave signals travel the ionosphere, reaching hundreds to thousands of miles to places the internet can’t.

1 Transmit

Powerful transmitters send the signal far beyond the horizon.

2 Reach

The signal reflects off the ionosphere and crosses borders.

3 Receive

Anyone with a radio can tune in—no internet or account needed.

Tap any frequency to hear that band on a live internet-connected receiver — no radio needed. Receivers are hosted by volunteers, so if one is busy pick another from the KiwiSDR map. Reception is not guaranteed in every location, and frequencies can change — check this page before listening.

Practical note

Shortwave works best with patience.

Try different times of day if the signal is weak. Even a simple radio can go a long way.

The mission

Put the gospel
on shortwave.

Shortwave reaches people the internet can’t — closed countries, remote regions, and anywhere a receiver is all someone has.

Reception tip

The signal changes with the sky.

Time of day, season, solar activity, location, and local electrical interference can all affect reception. A weak signal today may be strong another day.

Best times to try

  • Early morning (local)
  • Late evening (local)
  • During quiet solar conditions
  • Away from electrical noise
