I'm just getting back into news hunting on shortwave after a
couple years away. For a while after the Beeb canned their
Americas services I was using the Africa streams. Now that I'm
back, I'd like to pick up The World Today, which I understand is
on at 0300 and 0500 UTC in Africa. I went to the BBCWS website
but their frequency guide is very difficult to use, you have to
enter a specific city and then you get a program guide with
programming listed by local time, then the freqs after the pgm
descriptions. I entered the first city in West Africa that came
to mind, namely Lagos, Nigeria, and got freqs of 6005 and 7160.
6005 is heavily dominated by Cuba on 6000 here in California,
and 7160 is in the middle of the infamous 41m band-the one that
is hams in North America but international broadcast everywhere
else. On May 28 (May 29 in the target area) 7160 was dogged by
local hams, and when it wasn't the BBC was weak at best. Anybody
have freqs for any other African streams, such as Central? I
can't use Asian streams since they're dominated by daylight in
the local evenings.

What about getting the PDF updates
