Shortwave and (some) Mediumwave (AM) radio schedules for the Middle East
-----------------------------------------------------------------

Prologue:R
=========
This page includes general information about this radio list.
You should only send the following pages on to anyone in the
Middle East, since this page is not really useful for them.

Colophon:
---------
If the document between the two ``snip here'' lines is printed in
an 8-point font it will fit onto an AT&T DesertFAX form, and in
a 10-point font it fits in two standard pages (if you cut this
into 3 pages then a 10-point font would fit onto DesertFAX,
but then the schedules would be broken over two pages).   Many
Unix systems have a program called enscript from Adobe that
prints in different fonts (among many other things); see your
local documentation for details.  Also, many laser printers
normally print in a 10-point font.

Getting the most current copy:
------------------------------
I will update this as often as more schedule information comes
in (this has slowed from a flood to a moderate trickle), and
repost to appropriate USENET newsgroups as often as seems
appropriate (probably every 2--4 weeks).  The most current copy
of this is available via anonymous ftp from cs.arizona.edu, in
file desert-shield-shortwave/sched.Z.  To access it from the
internet, do the following (the '%' will be '$' or something
else if you don't use csh (aka the C shell)):

        prompt                          you type
        ------                          --------
        %                               ftp cs.arizona.edu
        Name (cs.arizona.edu:user) :    anonymous
        Password:                       guest
        ftp>                            type binary
        ftp>                            cd desert-shield-radio
        ftp>                            get sched.Z
        ftp>                            quit
        %                               uncompress sched.Z

Finally, if you do not have internet access, send email to me at
any of the addresses below and I'll send you a copy.  If you don't
have any email access send me a self-addressed, stamped envelope
and I'll get you a copy in the mail pronto.

Distribution and Copyright

This document is hereby placed in the public domain.  You may
copy it as much as you like.  Also, please post it to buletin
boards or pertinent mailing lists that you use.  Lets get this
to as many bored and homesick troops as we can to help them out!

^LFollowing is a listing of English shortwave and mediumwave (AM)
programs that are likely to be receivable in Arabia by most types
of shortwave radios (and normal radios, for AM --- 530--1600KHz).
Reception can vary from day to day, so if one frequency is not
coming in well try the others.   Aslso, signals travel best in the
dark, so the best listening is when it is night for the entire
path of the signal.  During the night signals in the
6000-9500 KHz range will come in best, and during the day those
above 15000.  Finally, most shortwave broadcasts begin with a
buletin of world news.

I welcome additions and corrections to this list; send email to
me [e-mail] or uunet!arizona!bakken or, if you must,
SNAIL MAIL to

I would still like to get info on the complete, current Middle East
schedules for:
        - Radio Cairo
        - Radio Moscow (impartial?; might have news contacts...)
and any others with good news and other programs that beam strong
signals to the Middle East.  So any of you folks in these countries,
or any regular listeners, please help us out.

All times below are UTC (which is basically GMT; Riyadh is UTC+3).
All frequencies are KHz (so divide by 1000 to get MHz). Send this
to anyone you know in Operation Desert Shield; chances are decent
that it will help them.  Post it to bulliten boards that you
frequent, too---maybe people there will send it to our troops.
Please tell me frequencies aren't coming in and I'll drop them.
