WRTH SCHEDULES UPDATED!
The WRTH Schedules have been updated for Winter 2011/2012. A huge thanks goes out
to the fine folks at the World Radio TV
Handbook for allowing access to an amazing resource.
ABOUT SHORTWAVE LOG
Shortwave Log (SWLog) provides logging, radio control, recording, and scheduling
functionality in a single suite. SWLog has a long history in that it is the oldest
shortwave logging program in existence, having been created in 1989. SWLog started
as an MS-DOS program and was distributed over FIDOnet and BBS. Today SWLog is highly
integrated with the web and databases.
While initially designed for shortwave and mediumwave listening, SWLog is quite
adept for listening to other modes such as longwave, utility, or amateur radio.
The amateur radio functionality includes integrated support for for eQSL.cc.
When adding to the logbook, Shortwave Log will search against over twenty databases
- including WRTH - to find matches. No other application provides such an extensive
support for databases and provides the identification features of SWLog.

the Windows Media and Ogg Vorbis formats and also supports AAC and MP3 via plug-ins.
In addition to the recording features, the program also supports playing Internet
Radio with direct support for Shoutcast and Icecast stations as well as having the
ability to directly enter the URL of any Internet Radio station.

ONLINE RECEIVERS
The following receivers are currently online and are publishing with the Radio Control
Server (RCS) application, which is part of this suite of products, or are using
the ORB program from www.remotehams.com.
Some of the receivers that utilize ORB can be controlled by Shortwave Log, but utilize
an incompatible audio stream. So the audio might need to be played with another
program.
