B04 schedules. No, these are drafts of tentative schedules that
could still have changes. Officially, those taking part in the HFCC
Conference are not supposed to issue this stuff ahead of time, as the
coordination procedure continues right up to the start of the B04 period.
Usually a few days after that, the public version of the schedule is
published at www.hfcc.org/ . Subsequent changes are not usually
published. At Radio Netherlands, we do not publish tentative versions of
our schedule, but we do try to be as quick as possible in publishing
actual changes once the schedule has commenced.

If I may say so this is a ridiculous state of affairs. How on earth do
international broadcasters expect listeners to know what freqs to tune in
on in if they don't publicise schedules before they take effect? By taking
this action the HFCC is completely disregarding the interests of
listeners, clubs and indeed publishers who need this information in
advance. They should ensure that their "coordination procedures" are
completed in suficient time to enable stations to publicise their
schedules well BEFORE they take effect. SW listening is decling enough as
it is without HFCC procedures getting in the way of providing this
essential information to listeners.
