These links can lead you to text versions of the current schedules:

look for the pure text version in "Data Files Shortwave, that file
is used by a nice free program... Scan320DB located at
http://www.qsl.net/ab9b/freeware/Scan320DB.html
It's a great way to filter and sort the data in the ILG file so you can locate what's on for any
time/frequency/language/

Another good text data file is at
http://www.eibi.de.vu
click the English DX Page link on the right.
You'll have to look through the eibi file yourself, I don't know any
program that uses it, but it's a great resource for finding what's on
