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.
