Art Bell operates on the 75-meter Ham band late at night after the program
and on weekends. See our LSB 3830 page.
With the latest rise in Sun Spot activity, reception of shortwave
frequencies has been on the rise. This is a great time to get into
shortwave listening. Here is an English Language shortwave listening
schedule to use for tuning around the shortwave bands. These are
primarily stations that broadcast news and features in English and
direct their signals to the North American continent. This is not just
a reprint of station schedules, but signals actually heard on the air
in the western US.
Frequencies are listed in kHz and the ones in BOLD should be
strong enough to pickup on your portable receiver. Your reception may
vary of course from day to day. Also included on this page below the
Hourly List are websites and Real-Audio feeds for broadcasters. If you
don't have a shortwave radio yet, you can listen via the net! Some
good links to informative websites are also listed at the end of this
page.

The above list is primarily for news and features from around the
world, but that doesn't mean that many of the religious broadcasters
with strong signals to the US are being ignored, as they are easy to
find by scanning up and down each shortwave band.
Shortwave Broadcaster Web Sites / Real Audio Feeds
If you don't have a shortwave receiver, you can still listen to
these broadcasters via the Internet and your Real Audio player. Even
when these stations are not broadcasting direct to the Americas, you
may still listen to their broadcast while they direct their
programming to another area of the world. Click on the Station Name to
visit the web site, click on the speaker to listen.
