The higher shortwave bands 6 to 30 MHz are generally used for true international broadcasting.

Radiation emitted by the sun changes daily which affects the earth's ionosphere as well as the approximate 11 year cycle of sunspot activity. The weather and the seasons also dramatically affect VHF propagation, with the summer often allowing stations to be heard from many hundreds of miles.
