1) Strictly speaking, you are correct. It isn't "shortwave".

2) However, from a reality viewpoint, many do post their MW catches here.

So, catching, say, KGO in San Francisco while living in Northern Oregon
would be considered a valid connection for a DXer?

I'm embarrassingly new at this and am trying to learn the ins and
outs. I've made the above connection before, but didn't realize it
was any big deal, KGO broadcasting at 50KW. I wasn't trying to score
a long catch, jes hear a radio station I was very familiar with.

nb

KGO from northern OR isn't much of a catch. Anything past about an hour or
so past sundown and you can hear them on a crystal set (much easier on even
a pocket radio). Ditto for KFI, KFBK, KSL, KBOI, ad inf.
