(less...) From the rec.radio.scanner FAQ, written by Bob Parnass, AJ9S: Every day and night, scanner hobbyists are entertained by what they overhear on their radios. Police cars, fire engines, ambulances,
airplanes, armored cars, trains, taxis, and buses are all equipped with radios and you can listen to them. You can monitor the local sheriff and fire departments to hear about events "as they happen," before the news reporters hear about them. Hostage dramas, bank robberies, car crashes, chemical spills, neighbor and domestic disputes, tornado sightings are all fair game. In a single afternoon, you can hear a high speed police chase, Drug Enforcement agents on a sting operation, and undercover FBI agents as they stakeout a suspect.
(less...) The Shortwave spectrum is regarded as the radio frequencies in the range from 1.8 to 30 mHz. International, or Regional Broadcasters sometimes use this range of frequencies to reach target
audiences, but are correctly listed in Arts/International Broadcasters because broadcasting is a performing art, for the consumption of many. Listening to or monitoring such broadcasts and others such as utility, aircraft, marine, and military radio broadcasts by individuals is a radio-related, recreational hobby much like CB and Scanner listening. Monitoring activity, which is not restricted only to ShortWave frequencies, is often categorized in two ways, namely Short Wave Listening and DXing, or DX Listening. Short Wave Listening (SWL) is the casual and regular reception of International Broadcasters such as the BBC, Deutsche Welle, and Radio Canada International, among many others. They are easily heard by intended or target audience, through powerful shortwave transmitters, satellite broadcasts. DXing is the attempt to hear weak signals, signals that are for local audiences, but which may often be heard at further distances by listeners who use special equipment and antennas. Such listeners are often referred to as DXers who often also listen for weak signals outside the shortwave frequencies on the longwave and the mediumwave bands. Those extend from just over 0 kHz to 1.8 mHz. Information about longwave and mediumwave DXing is also found in the Shortwave category. Ham radio and CB, although within the Shortwave frequency spectrum, are considered separate activities, and in ODP, have their own categories. This is also true for scanning of radio services like police, fire and ambulance. by editor funk updated 2001.10.08

Italian La radio e' stato il primo mezzo di comunicazione di massa della storia ed e' ancora molto seguita. Questa sezione si concentra tuttavia sugli aspetti hobbystici di uno strumento che per molti e' una
vera e propria passione. I "radioamatori" sono appassionati di radio ed elettronica che sfruttano i loro apparati di ricetrasmissione per comunicare tra loro attraverso l'etere. Gli ascoltatori impegnati ("dx-er", "broadcast band listener", "shortwave listener") preferiscono monitorare le trasmissioni, in particolare quelle radiodiffusive, cercando di ascoltare, anche a grande distanza, la programmazione locale in onde medie, corte o Fm. Altre specializzazioni riguardano il sorvegliamento di trasmissioni a carattere non broadcast, come l'ascolto degli stessi radioamatori sulle frequenze loro assegnate. Il mondo della radiofonia privata in Fm viene seguito da ascoltatori piu' che fedeli. Di solito questi appassionati seguono con attenzione l'evolversi dello spettro Fm delle loro citta' e collezionano adesivi e altro materiale delle varie stazioni.
