Is this a shortwave radio?

No but here in Houston you'll get literally any station you can imagine....I was watching an old episode of Magnum P.I. and he claimed that the Navy used a frequency so low that an antenna had to be stretched from one mountain range to another so only they could pick up the transmission.

Making this Southern Miss related, I once picked up a station out of Cincinnatti carrying the football game and couldn't get the USM broadcast that was much closer. I guess the cows in Wayne County could hear it.
