Shortwave Radio??

Hi
I am new to shortwave, when I do a search through the bands all I get is
foreign language stations, therefore I have no idea as to what or who I am
listening to.
Can anyone suggest times and bands where I am likely to find english
speaking programs and stations please.
I am in the UK, on GMT
thanks
Rikk

You might start by looking at the schedules available he

http://www.primetimeshortwave.com/

I believe that web site mostly covers signals aimed at North America,
but you may still pick some of them up.

and scroll down to ITU Frequency Allocation.

Also feel free to ask any other questions if you need more help.
