If you want to listen to a particular SW station, you need to know the precise
frequency and wavelength. Many short wave stations will send you broad-
casting schedules which give you the information you need. You can also
download the information from the Internet.
One station which is always up-to-date is Deutsche Welle in Bonn. You can
contact it at the following address:
