How to easily listen to radio amateurs bands ?

 AM radio stations on medium wave and shortwave are starting to become rare in 2026.

Why not listen to amateur radio operators ?

They are very active from a lot of places in the world. For amateur radio they are 340 DXCC entities, and for normal people only 200 countries !

They use Single sideband (SSB) and phone (voice)

So you must have a radio receiver with this mode or if you have a computer and internet you can use KIWI or WEB SDR

I wrote an article in April 2025, in this article I try to explain how to begin to start listening to amateur radio bands from 10 to 160 meters.
