Shortwave is well suited for transmission over very long distances, because its low frequencies easily and efficiently reflect or skip off the ionosphere, producing sky waves that can travel vast distances. Clandestine stations: anti government or anti r gime radio also constituted an important segment of international broadcasting, as illegal or unlicensed broadcast operations were used for political purposes. Wwii allied station would intentionally broadcast misleading reports to confuse the enemy.
