It is. Grounding your shortwave radio is important for a couple reasons: Many antennas that are used on shortwave radio perform correctly ( or better ) when a ground is established. ( Marconi Antenna ). Verticle antennas also use a ground wire as a " Counterpoise". The more radials used, the better RF resistance.
Grounds can help the S/N raio as well by elminating some of the RF hash. Also, a Lightning arrestor is very important in case of a lightning strike. Good luck.

What is world band radio?
Shortwave.
Are shortwave radio receivers obsolete?
No, not at all. Shortwave listening is a very popular hobby. You can buy ready-made or build-it-yourself shortwave radios. However, as a lifelong shortwave listener, there is, admittedly, less to listen to on shortwave today that formerly.
Portions of the atmosphere used to bounce shortwave radio signals around the world?
Ionosphere
Is the Super Bowl broadcast on HF radio?
Yes, on shortwave or HF radio (they are the same) the super bowl will be broad cast from multiple locations. It can be found at this link http://mt-shortwave.blogspot.com/2008/02/superbowl-xlii-by-shortwave-radio.html
What are short radio waves used for?
Shortwave radio is used for broadcasting of voice and music to shortwave listeners, and long-distance communication to ships and aircraft, or to remote areas out of reach of wired communication or other radio services. Additionally, it is used for two-way international communication by amateur radio enthusiasts for hobby, educational and emergency purposes.

Where can I find information about portable shortwave radio?
Good places to start with would be Radio Shack, Amazon, and places like that. Read the reviews on the different types of portable shortwave radios to find the best one.
Which type of electromagnetic wave would reflect from the ionosphere?
shortwave radio band
Can Hawaii radio 105.1 be heard on a shortwave radio in California?
No - they're on entirely different wavelengths. 105.1 is VHF radio, which penetrates through the ionosphere, and creates a line-of-sight limitation. Shortwave receives Medium- and High Frequency transmissions from 1.8 to 30 MHz - well below the range of VHF radio.

Part of atmosphere used to bounce shortwave radio waves?
Radio waves bounce off of the ionosphere and return back to Earth.
What is the brand of radio in the new line dance commercial for GE?
Grundig/Eaton am/fm/shortwave radio in silver- model GS350
