Is it just me, or is Passport really off on their times?

Since many shortwave broadcasters change their schedules up to four
times a year, a book which is published annually can not be expected to
have accurate program schedules for the entire year. That's the role of
monthly shortwave magazines and the Internet.

It's more than that. Radio Exterior Espana changed both their summer
and winter broadcast frequencies and at the same time cut back English
broadcasts from three to one hour per day. However, three years later
Passport is still posting the same times and frequencies. Ditto, many
of the BBC broadcasts that were cancelled over a year ago are still
published.

I can undeerstand if they miss a few small stations that are not
readily listenable in our area of the world, but we are talking about
major broadcasts here. Dissapointed, you bet, I won't buy another
Passport unless I can review it to verify they really have made at
least an attempt to be up to date.

Did you inform them of the errors so they could be corrected?

Download the AO3 schedule, and then print it out to hardcopy. I've

that list to be extremely accurate regarding times and freqs.

Where do I get it?

I suggest you have look at the hard-core-dx or dxing.info or G.Hauser -sites
for updates of different schedules. Also ILG-Radio has more accurate
information (needs a password). No list is really up-to-date, but reading
actively the dx-sites gives you better knowledge.
Passport and WRTH are a very good base on which I can "build" my updates.

I got A03 off Glenn Hauser's site worldofradio.com. It's 183 pages in
Word-I don't think I'll be able to print it out on my crappy little home
printer.
