Default BBC World Service - Shortwave Radio Listener (SWL) Broadcast Changes

What freq's/times do you catch BBC broadcasting to Africa, etc? I am in
central Ohio & would love to catch these broadcasts!

I actually find the BBC and other broadcasts that were not intended
for North America to be far more interesting to listen to.

And it's not hard to pick up BBC broadcasts for Africa, Middle East,
etc., where I am on the East Coast of the US.

I could complain that the SW bands are filled with junk I don't want
to listen to because this is very much true, but BBC (and VOA and CBC
and Radio Netherlands and Deutsche Welle and...) broadcasts to third
world countries are very worthwhile.
