Is there a common repository for shortwave broadcast frequencies?

Hello everyone! I have a question regarding SW broadcasts.

Recently I purchased a Yaesu FT1D Digital Handheld Radio, which has the ability to monitor shortwave broadcast frequencies that are pre-programmed into the radio's software.

It has been enjoyable listening to these frequencies to hear the BBC, Havana, France, etc. But I have a question about the frequencies used.

On my Mac I use MacLoggerDX for logging purposes, and included is time/date of SW stations on the air. These vary from the programming on the Yaesu radio, so I am at a loss as to what frequencies are used, and if there are frequencies used that my radio does not have included in the programming.

I suppose my question is this: Is there a central repository of shortwave frequencies used for broadcasts? If so, where may I locate this information?

Thanks everyone in advance for your help, and I look forward to your replies!

I use this at times....

Prime Time Shortwave - Your guide for English shortwave broadcasts

Two that I use are:

SHORT-WAVE.INFO
Short-Wave Frequency Schedule for BBC in ENGLISH at 05:12GMT

ShortwaveSchedule.com
Shortwave schedules around the world with frequencies in kHz and distance calculator

There are others out there but these are the two that I like. Hope that helps some.

or else you can download the spreadsheet version *.CSV....and read it with "EiBi view".

The database is updated almost daily

I second this one.

There are a couple of Yahoo groups that are useful. I also use the Prime Time app

I use that short-wave.info site as well. Not all stations show up in their database, but it helps identify about 99% of the ones I come across.

While there isn't one 'best' source of SWBC news, there are others that are worthy besides the ones already mentioned...

I don't know if Dan F. is still creating the master spreadsheet that combines many different sources into one - and he updates it quite regularly. It's distributed via a Yahoo group, viz..

https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/swskeds/info

There are a few sites that should also catch your attention, although some aren't updated nearly as often...

DXAsia.in

HFCC - International Broadcasting Delivery

And a utility for the Mac users out there...

ShortBoard : ShortWave Schedule Management for the Mac

I would be remiss if didn't mention long time DXer and author Glenn Hauser's DXLD Yahoo group which is just chock full of schedule information

Certainly Dan is still very active on the Yahoo site - every day there's something new.

Dan says that we should have a beer in his honour and tell him how good it tasted. Now that I make my own home brew I can blame him for my downfall...

Thanks everyone for your replies! I have taken the information and sites you all provided to work to build a list of frequencies to monitor. Please feel free to continue posting advice for SW listening!

www.short-wave.info is very useful and user friendly.
