Short wave station logging program

wave stations? Preferably a simple one without heaps of bells and
whistles.

I used a spreadsheet with good success. It can be as easy or 'feature
laden' as you wish.
It has the ability to sort contents by date, name, time, etc.
This Office Suite has everything you need and the price is right.
A spreadsheet only, with all the feature you will ever need. This is
also free.

honest, any spreadsheet (Works, Excel, OpenOffice) is the best for
me.
I have my columns as such..
Frequency
Country
Station ID
Date listened
Time listened
Reception
Misc. Notes (language, program data etc)
I use a combination of these two sites to help me identify stations
and to find them....Although I will wait for a positive ID before I
log it.

stations by frequency that is updated almost on a daily basis.
Happy listening.....

website has many [free] downloadable 'applets' including logging
software - both shortwave and ham applets. Cool thing is at home you
can update the database on your computer and on trips and such you use
the Palm. Keep them synch'ed and with the sorting features (which yes
you can easily do in a spreadsheet) you have quite a program guide at
your disposal. If I were limiting myself to logging at the computer
only - I'd go with a spreadsheet application (like many I use MS
Excel) as SCDxing has suggested.

It is easy to use, and receiver specific...

There are 'comma separated variable' data sheets available for download.
It's a simple matter to import huge listings.
The CSV page here can be cut and pasted into a text file, then imported
into the spreadsheet.

After a cursory look: er, if this <geocities> site is updated "almost
on a daily basis", it needs some pruning.
Even the Sierra Leone Broadcasting Service hasn't claimed for several
years to be operating on 3316 kHz.
Botswana on 4820? Not for years...
Ghana on 4915? Ditto.
An 'dif it's being updated regularly, how come Chad 4905 doesn't show
up? I've heard them a couple of times in passing over the past few
weeks.
Ah, without doing some detailed cross-checking, that list looks
suspiciously like a printout of ILG Radio's last database before it
was forced to fold, with some judicious editing.

Well, it is impossible for one person or even a group of people to
keep track of every shortwave schedule from every country. You are
talking literally 1,000s of listings & a lot of them (wait most of
them) don't even keep accurate shortwave schedules online. Take WILB
today, they were broadcasting Ralph Stair at a time that isn't listed
on any guide, or their own website, or even Ralph Stair's own
website.
It's just a tool my friend, and a darn good one but it's not perfect.
If it is identical to the ILG database that folded (which I have no
idea what that is), kudos to that person for keeping the information
available to the public when they went under.

Ah, Sierra Leone, Ghana, Botswana... literally YEARS ago. And these
are only in a few minutes of quick sight-checking.
The flipping info doesn't even semi-match the "professional" WRTH,
which in recent years hasn't been reliable.
That's fine.. but the poster advertised the list as updated
frequently.
THAT was my point.
If you're unaware of ILGRadio.. well.

Possible ILG DataBase =Replacement= IOC.Com "Radio" DataBase ?
