French language on shortwave radio
Is there a readily available compilation of French-language
transmissions on shortwave radio? I would like to listen as a way of building (recovering) my skills in French, but cannot find a listing of times and frequencies. Such compilations are available for English-language programming so I thought maybe such a thing could exist for French-language programming as well. The RFI web site is not very helpful. -- I am not suffering from insanity, quite the opposite, I am enjoying every minute of it. |

For RFI's transmissions only: Cliquez ici for a .pdf file of their transmission schedule and frequencies: http://www.rfi.fr/fichiers/ecouter/F...r2003_2004.pdf I know it's not the answer to your question, but it's a start. |

I think ILGRADIO has a set of language-specific databases.
You can also filter the main database by language in any of the standard readers. Charles Hawtrey wrote: Is there a readily available compilation of French-language transmissions on shortwave radio?

I'm guessing you live in North America?
Here's radio canada's list: http://www.rcinet.ca/horaires/B03_SW_24h.pdf After 9pm or so Pacific time I like to see if i can pick up some african stations. The best bet for me is Nigeria in french on 7255 kHz, occasionally I can hear Africa No. 1 in french on 9580 kHz, and Radio Conakry, Guinea on 7125. I'm not aware if any radio from france is available on shortwave to the USA. There may be canadian stations in your area that you can pick up in mediumwave, if you live in the northeast US.
