From: Dave Bakken EMS: INTERNET / MCI ID: 376-5414 MBX: bakken%CS.ARIZONA.EDU@cuvmb.columbia.edu TO: Scott Loftesness / MCI ID: 380-1143 Subject: English language shortwave radio schedule for the Middle East Message-Id: 13901226064531/0003765414NC2EM Source-Msg-Id: <9012260143.aa08350@NRI.NRI.Reston.VA.US> 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!

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 bakken@cs.arizona.edu or uunet!arizona!bakken or, if you must, SNAIL MAIL to Dave Bakken [a lowly grad student; was in USMA '83 fosr 2 years] Dept. of Computer Science Gould-Simpson Building The University of Arizona Tucson, AZ 85721 USA 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.
