Worldband vs. Shortwave on Google Trends

Can anyone tell me when, and at what frequency, I should try to get BBC? It's interesting that I can get five or six stations quite clearly from their internet web site, including recordings of recent broadcasts. Also listened (on my computer) to their live broadcast of the Cambridge King's College Christmas music. Go the their web site's home page for the World Service http://www.bcc.co.uk/worldservice (or something like that). About half way down the page is the box where you enter in your city and get the daily or weekly schedule. Next to that is a link labeled something like "Shortwave Update". This will take you to a page that will give you the transmissions schedules for their diffrent regional broadcast tracks. Here on the West Coast of North America, I get transmissions targeted to East Asia and SouthEast Asia in the early morning, and morning (until about 9 AM Seattle time) and then again from (4 PM (0:00 UTC) to after sundown. (9740, 6195, 5975, 3915 kHz morning, 15285 afternoons). Then transmissions aimed at North Africa in late morning (12095). And then West/Central Africa in early afternoon (15400). And there's an hour in the afternoon with a Caribbean target that I can't remember off the top of my head. The different tracks have different schedules, but you can go the the home page and use the above mentioned box to get a program schedule for any city in the world. This time of year, with the sun illuminating to the south, it's pretty crummy listening in the northern hemisphere, but propagation gets a lot better during most of the year. http://www.bbc.co.uk/worldservice/sc...es/index.shtml dxAce Michigan USA |
