Default What is the most effective method for finding SW broadcasts?

I have found, having started 2 days ago, that there are three ways to
search for SW broadcasts:

1. Hunting, one station at a time, on each meter band.

2. Scanning quickly through each meter band.

3. Looking at a list of broadcast times and stations for your area that
someone has put together and directly putting these frequencies in.

How do you do it?


dn:

If you know the name of the broadcaster you want, just look up their
webpage. Take China Radio International (CRI) for example, just google
with some search terms like: china, radio, international, shortwave,
english. I did this for you and got this webpage:

http://pw2.netcom.com/~jleq/cri1.htm

then by following the link on the page for english schedules, I got to
the page:

http://pw2.netcom.com/~jleq/cri1_skedfreq.htm

which gives time in UTC and frequencies.

I find this works the best for me. All I need is a list of shortwave
broadcasters (yes, you can even google for that!) and you are off with
many, many broadcasts to keep you busy indefinently!
