2 US Clear Channel AM Stations-night long distance ..N. AM Directed SW Stations by Country with times ..N. AM Commercial SW and AFRTS Stations ..SW Stations by Country Freq List - by C. Crane ..SW Schedules by Time worldwide-Prime Time SW ..SW Stations by Country - Prime Time SW ..SW Utility Services & Emergency Services-freq ..Program Listings worldwide (SW) - Mark Fine ..Art Bell s SW Stations/Programs - Western US This Guide has been compiled by Curious of the Timebomb2000 forum: minor modifications by Clear Channel AM Stations (long distance at night) These channels used to be used exclusively by just one station (except sharing with Alaska stations in some cases) but now are often shared with one other station in the lower 48.

3 Theoriginal station (listed first) is now at least a super regional and the sec-ondary listing is a small regional or local station running less power. These stations even with some shared fre-quencies still provide cross country listen-ing particularly if one uses some sort of AM directional antenna (homemade loop placed near the regular Radio AM antenna etc) and the ones that are still totally clear channel may provide coast to coast listening even today. K s are west of the Mississippi and W s are east of the Mississippi except for KDKA in Pittsburg (the first licensed US commercial Radio station). All of the sta-tions listed first are running 50,000 watts of power though those listed second and third may be running much less power.

6 Only a very few stations operate outside these ranges. 49 Meter Band 5730 - 6205 kHz ( Mhz) 41 Meter Band 7100 - 7595 31 Meter Band 9350 - 10000 25 Meter Band 11550 - 12160 22 Meter Band 13570 - 13870 19 Meter Band 15000 - 15710 16 Meter Band 17500 - 17900 13 Meter Band 21450 - 21850 Other Bands (few stations operating): 11m 25600 - 26100 60m 4750 - 5060 75m 3900 - 4000 90m 3200 - 3400 120m 2300 - 2490 Daytime listening Shortwave listening is generally at its poorest during the daylight hours of 10 to 3 local time and are overall poorer during the day than at night. Band Characteristics 11m Seldom used band 13m Best in winter: good other seasons 16m EXCELLENT year round (3hours prior to sunset until sunset is best generally) 19m EXCELLENT- BEST DAYTIME band (3 hours prior to sunset until sunset is best) 22m New band; should be good year round 25m Best two hours before/after sunset Evening/Night listening Band Characteristics 19m Often good at night during the summer 22m Summer months 25m Best two hours before/after Sunset 31m BEST YEAR ROUND band, 2 hours before Sunset into the night 41m After dark.

7 Good all night year round 49m Excellent year round for all night listening ============== Add on a Wire Antenna to Assist Receiving SW An extra length of wire at least 20 feet in length with a stripped part of the wire wrapped around the receiving antenna, will greatly improve recep-tion. Solareagle sells a roll up antenna which is easy to use inside, though any type of left over wire can be used for this purpose. Earphones greatly help in listening when the SW signal is fading Sideband Explanation USB = Upper Sideband LSB = Lower Sideband An AM signal modulates on both sides of the center frequency while a sideband signals only modulates on one side of the center frequency (above or below). While most Shortwave signals are AM some are Sideband and if one does not have a Sideband enabled Radio they sound like gibberish.

8 The advantage to a sideband sig-nal is that it is less subject to fading and can carry a much longer distance for the same amount of transmitter output power. High end SW radios will be able to listen to a sideband station via a simple AM/USB/LSB switch. N. Am Directed Short Wave Sta-tions by Country and Time This list is only a general Guide . Times and frequencies do change with the seasons. I was unable tofind a pocket SW Radio Guide (or even a large Guide that was current) so the data in this table was drawn from a number of sources and reformatted into a readable format. Part of the data is several years old for some stations and this list should be utilized only as a general Guide . Remember all times are in UTC.
