How computers (and the WWW) has not improved SW listening: Where are the
regional frequency charts?

The BBC WS used to produce them, and a few 24 hour broadcasters used them.
Now they don't seem to exist.

This is hyper ironic in the these kinds of charts are
-- HTML table coding friendly, thus readily e-mail (able)
-- PDF friendly
-- Idiot proof, providing they have a separate NON-UTC local time zone time
indicators (top or bottom)

DRM (the non Microsoft, Digital Radio Mondial) is still a dream in process
of being implemented on shortwave -- and most DRM receivers don't generate
frequency charts based on the schedule infos sent them.

They prefer that you listen to web streaming. 500,000 Watt transmitters
to reach a region with digital infrastructure makes no sense.
