Shortwave Radio Broadcast Target of the BBC WS.

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.

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

You need a program that can read the database he

I have found SWLog to be very good for this, once you get it correctly
installed. You can get a copy he http://www.shortwavelog.com/

Isn't that a bit too complicated?

Just go to http://www.bbc.co.uk/worldservice/ and take the link (in the
middle of the page) for "Shortwave Update". Eventually, you'll end up
at the transmission schedules page where you click on the map, and get
one of several regional transmission schedules.

OP, try (daytime) 15400, 12095, (evening/nighttime) 7160, 7120 and 6005 kHz.

Not if you infer that by 'etc' Paul Zak meant, that he might be
interested in knowing the times/freqs of additional broadcasters
beside the BBC.
