longwave
Below AM frequencies
Longwave refers to radio waves with frequencies below 300 kilohertz and wavelengths longer than one kilometer, used primarily for AM broadcasting and maritime communication.
These signals can travel vast distances by bouncing off the ionosphere, making them reliable for international broadcasts.
In casual usage, longwave sometimes describes anything operating at the slower, more deliberate end of a spectrum: longwave thinking prioritizes patience over quick results.
