Nah, most of the shortwave broadcast stations use AM.


There have been shortwave broadcasts in SSB over the years. They are
very attractive to broadcasters as they use far less power than AM.
They never really caught on because their target audience did not have
SSB capable receivers.

Note that the U.S. Armed Forces Radio Network transmissions are not
broadcasts, because they are not intended for the general public.
