TECHNICALLY.... nothing.

Clarification time.

Ham Radio (official name - Amateur Radio Service) uses some of the same frequencies that are commonly described as "shortwave".

Historically, "shortwave" are frequencies in the "HF spectrum - 3 to 30 MHz" while "long wave" was below 3MHz and above the audio band of 300kHz. In the early days of radio, it was more difficult to produce a signal above 300kHz, and until very recently, 500kHz was an iinternationaldistress frequency. The AM broadcast band starts just above that, at 540 kHz....

Today, shortwave broadcasters are ssponsoredby countries, the government owns many of the broadcast stations and broadcasts the flavor of the country. Also, many broadcasters are religious in nature, getting the word out to people that are not allowed to participate in religious activity in their home country.

The USA has broadcast transmitters that broadcasts US news, as well as Armed Forces News and TV to US military stationed overseas (AFRTS).

Ham radio on the other hand is personal point to point communications. There are networks that are dedicated to public service (Red Cross, Salvation Army etc) disaster services, non-commercial email.

Another huge difference, typical sshort warereceivers are usually simple receivers while ham radio receivers are more sensitive, more selective, higher quality receivers, and the price reflects the difference.

Ham radio uses "single side band" that cannot be received without a "SSB" selector (filter) on the basic shortwave receiver.

I'm a ham radio operator, and I spend all of my time on HF frequencies, which is considered 'shortwave'. shortwave actually refers to the length of the electromagnetic length  of the radio wave.

Broadcast AM stations transmitting on say, 650 KHZ, has a full wave length of 1513 feet, whereas, the full wave length of a amateur station operating on a frequency of 14.3 MHZ would be 68 feet, thus the term 'shortwave'.

I wonder if there are any other hams on this forum? QRZ?

I never suspected that I would see a thread mention ham radio on a political forum.  :)
