Updated 1/20/07 English-Language Shortwave Frequencies Audible In North America By Glenn Hauser Exclusively For C. Crane Company, Inc.
This is a quick-reference list of frequencies from each country which carry some English and which may be heard in North America. Many are easily heard; some are difficult and rarely audible.
In North America listen to Asia and Australia in the morning and listen to Europe at night. No SW frequency operates 24 hours. You may not hear anything unless you are listening at the right time, or you may hear another language, or you may hear some other country sharing the frequency. Many countries are better heard in non-English broadcasts. Explore the dial and you will hear many fascinating things, including exotic music. Some stations only air a few minutes of English; or only in ID announcements (Mexico); or only language lessons (Ecuador). shown. Many of the frequencies are relayed from elsewhere. (In the case of China, all of Country of origin is them shown here are relays.) Do not assume any particular frequency is actually coming directly from the originating country. Some major countries no longer broadcast intentionally to North America, such as Australia, Germany, South Africa, UK. Longer frequency lists for these give you more chances to hear something directed elsewhere. More than one station may be involved under some countries, or even outside broadcasts to that country (Liberia, Nigeria, Sudan). Many of the strongest signals from strictly religious broadcasters in the US and elsewhere are not shown.
