I recently purchased an inexpensive Radio Shack DX-350 radio. It is my first
experience with shortwave, and I have some questions. The primary reason
I became interested was to be able to hear the dramas and plays on BBC.
Recently, I downloaded a "schedule", and have some ??
1) There seem to be "numerous" BBC channels, and each different one has
   several frequencies listed from 49 M to 13 M. Under each of these is a
   further breakdown like this:
        05.965 - non-daily from :45  (Whaaaaat does that mean)
        09.580 - until :45
        21.715 - Sun Only ( think I may have this one)

Also, do I assume correctly that the times given are Greenwich time?

Thanks in advance for your help, and if you know of any other radio drama
sources, please feel free,
