Default First shortwave radio questions?

The same question from me. I live in San Francisco bay area. I have a Sony
2010. My antenna is a wire connected to my metal gutter. Stopped listening
when the BBC stopped broadcasting to US.

I'm looking for a reason to listen to SW again but need some help with time/freq
of English speaking stations.

Any recommendations?


Times are Pacific Daylight Time.

The BBC is coming pretty good in the mornings on the West Coast (Seattle).
Try 11750, 6195, 5875 (new this year, I think), and 9740 in the mornings
from about 5 to 9 AM. Also try 15360 starting at 5 PM. (Usually pretty
weak, though).

Radio Australia. 1 AM to 6 or 7 AM. 9580, 9590, later 6020.
Around 7 AM, 7240 and 5995. Later in the morning try 9710, 9580, 11880.
Around 4 PM, 17795. Evening and night, a bunch of frequencies in the
15 MHz band, and then a couple in the 13 Mhz band (13630?). The
asian programming track is even coming in around 9 PM on 17750 and
15415, although 15415 preempts the english with the news in Indonesian
for the first half hour of the hours at 9 and 10 PM.
