"SW" stands for "short-wave". That's the label out of the 1940s and 50s for the radio bands
at higher frequencies than commercial AM broadcast. They're used for international broadcast,
and a lot of other services.
The term is very imprecise, and doesn't refer to any hard and fast range of frequencies.
When people used to talk about "short-wave", they were generally referring to the bands
maybe from 1.6 MHz to 30 MHz. The bands included on your radio with the "SW" label on it
probably fall into this range. There isn't as much interesting listening on those bands as
there was a few decades ago; but you should still scan them, slowly, some evening, just
to see what you can find, if you've never done it before.
SW in radio lingo stands for "Shortwave." It's like the quick and dirty version of AM/FM, allowing for long-distance communication by bouncing signals off the ionosphere. So, next time you hear someone talking about tuning into SW radio, just know they're trying to catch some far-reaching waves.

No. We do not need a radio/tv personality representing SW Florida. We need somebody that will work and help the people of SW Florida. We don't need a personality. We need a worker! It's not about just sounding good in a radio booth or tv anchor chair! It is about getting the job done for the people of Florida!
