Some shortwave radio enthusiasts—mostly hobbyists—spend their time tuning in to broadcasts and compiling their own station schedules. These schedules typically list the station’s name, its country of origin, a general idea of where the transmitter is located, and the specific days and times each broadcast is on the air.
However, there’s a lot of repetition across these schedules, as many hobbyists borrow or import information from one another.
In addition to these schedules, there are also frequency databases that simply note which station broadcasts on which frequency, but they usually don’t provide details like broadcast times or schedules—just the regular frequency assignments.
