Hi, Darren:

  The **best** source I've ever seen, by far, is Monitoring Times magazine.  
Each month, they have a *very* extensive and thorough section (typically at 
least 24 pages in length) showing English-language shortwave broadcasts from 
just about every station in the world, listed hour by hour - plus a chart 
that shows "propagation conditions" to tell the reader which frequencies are 
best and worst at any time of day.  Plus (in addition to frequencies) they 
provide a great amount of detail about the contents of radio broadcasts 
(whether a show offers music, news, discussion, etc.)  Plus, the magazine 
offers *many* excellent articles (and ongoing monthly columns) about all 
kinds of shortwave (and other) radio monitoring, data on antennas (and other 
technical topics), and just about anything else you can imagine that would be 
of use to radio monitors of any and all kinds, anywhere in the world.  I know 
they provide subscriptions to readers outside the US, and they recently began 
offering 6-month subscriptions (in addition to their previous 12-month and 
longer subscriptions) which, of course, cost less money.  You can contact 
them at:
                            Monitoring Times
                            PO Box 98
                            Brasstown NC  (USA)
                            28902-0098
                            Phone: (704) 837-9200 
                            e-mail: mt@grove.net
  Trust me, Darren, you won't find a better source of information anywhere!
  Best wishes, and happy listening!
Cheers, Frank
