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?


You have the basics of it down pat. In the old books about SW Listening,
they used to say there are 2 ways of listening, "Targeting" certain
stations, and just slowly tuning up and down the SW Broadcast bands
"exploring" for new stations and broadcasts.

I use digital receivers for targeting stations at cerain times and
frequencies, but for exploring up and down the bands, I still prefer analog
receivers.

There's always been such a varity of signals on High Frequency Radio, USB &
LSB, that it has held my interest for close to fifty years now. I have
scanners for UHF, VHF, etc, but HF is still my favorite listening.
