Reception of the entire HF band is legal globally, as defined by the ITU. You don't need a scanner to receive shortwave radio, and in fact most scanners can't receive shortwave radio.
- mlyle 5y agoITU doesn't get to decide what's legal in countries. If Cuba wants to tell you it's illegal to listen to Voice of America on HF, they can. ITU just helps countries agree on uses for spectrum and conventions for its use.
- Arnt 5y agoThe ITU defines what the bands are, but of course not the legality of using them.
- anyfoo 5y agoOP said you don't need a license to "receive signals". As far as I know that's not correct. Maybe OP meant specifically these signals, but that's not how I read it, and it's worth pointing out anyway.
