    NOTICE: listen KOL ISRAEL  during the specified times using ALL the speci-
    fied frequencies for  THAT TIME.  You will notice that at some frequencies 
    you won't hear anything, at others you will hear more or better.Don't des-
    pair: short wave communications depend very much of the

            a)  day time and year season;
            b)  weather at the transmitting place, at the receivers place and
                the weather between transmitter AND receiver;
            c)  place where the radio (receiver) is located and very special,
            d)  of the antenna's quality and/or position.

    More important than a good receiver is a good and well placed antenna.You
    can get very good results with quite a cheap radio (from US$ 60 upwards),
    better and more comfortable with a digital  (PLL) receiver (I have two of
    them:  a very old  SONY ICF-2001, and during the last gulf war I bought a
    fantastic small AND good ICF-SW1, not much bigger than a package of ciga-
    rettes,  son  that I was  at  every place and moment informed on what was
    happening in and around Israel..  and suffering with my people).Take this
    schedule  with you to a specialized  dealer and ask him to advice you and 
    make a test with different priced receivers.
 
       Conversion table from frequencies (in KHz) in to wave bands (in m.)
       -------------------------------------------------------------------

    Frequencies (in KHz)                                     Range (in m.)
    --------------------                                     -------------
    from  7100 KHz till approx.  7300 KHz equivalent to approx. 41 m. band
          9400 KHz               9800 KHz                       31 m. band
         11500 KHz              12100 KHz                       25 m. band
         15000 KHz              15700 KHz                       49 m. band
         17500 KHz              17900 KHz                       16 m. band
         21400 KHz              21800 KHz                       13 m. band

    In some radios you'll find sometimes the abbreviation MHz instead of KHz.
    No problem, since 
                                1 MHz = 1.000 KHz

    That means,if you are searching e.g.the frequency 11605 KHz, you'll find
    it under 
                                 11605 KHz  or
                        approx.  11.6  MHz  or
                        approx.  25    m.

    Only one thing you don't have to forget: if you want to listen KOL ISRAEL
    from abroad, you need a receiver that has short wave AND you must  switch
    to the short wave  range.  Therefore you don't need much help: a receiver
    with short wave has  a button with the inscription SW  or  S  or KW or  K
    or OC.  Look at home: maybe you have in the cellar an old radio  that has
    short wave range (most old radios with valves had it!)  and try to listen
    with it before spending money innecessarily.
    You can get the short wave broadcasts table  directly from  KOL ISRAEL by
    sending a post card to

            Israel Radio International
            P.O.B. 1082
            Jerusalem 91010                  Tel.: (++ 972 2) 30.22.22
            ISRAEL                           FAX : (++ 972 2) 25.32.82

    and requesting for it in english or in any other language which KOL ISRAEL
    transmits. You have to  notice that the times printed there (and here) are
    GMT/UTC,  that means that you have to  ADD or REST the difference of hours
    between  your location place and  GMT/UTC.  If you want to have it easier,
    you just  need to wait until the next  broadcasting  schedule comes out in 
    this same place (twice a year).

                              Shalom und and have fun with KOL ISRAEL

    PS: there is no guarantee that this schedule is accurate, since KOL ISRAEL
        for technical reasons often changes its frequencies.
