The ITU defines 12 RF bands, starting at 1. Each band <i>n</i> begins at the wavelength 10<super>n</super>, and covers an order of magnitude of wavelength. The corresponding lower frequency is 3x10<super>8-n</super>Hz. <i>Medium wave</i> corresponds to the lower portion of band 6 (Medium Frequency). <i>Longwave</i> corresponds to bands 1 (Extremely Low Frequency) through 5 (Low Frequency), though most amateur radio takes place within band 5. <i>Shortwave</i> encloses the top half of band 6, along with band 7 (High Frequency).
