The domestic networks and the AFRTS do not broadcast on SW.  (The AFRTS
did so up until about a decade ago.  You've seen some schedules posted
here.  Sources include our computer software and data file subscription
which is updated on almost a daily basis this time of the year.  You
can send me a SASE to PO Box 2275, Vincentown, NJ 08088-2275, or
download the information off our BBS at 609-859-1910.  Also you can get
the magazine Monitoring Times (PO Box 98, Brasstown, NC 28902, tele
704-837-9200), and pick up the 1993 edition of the World Radio TV
Handbook when it comes out during the first week of January.  Get the
catalog from Universal Radio (614-866-4267) for an extensive list of
other publications that can help you.  Hope that helps.

Axel, see above and contact Universal Radio for their catalog including
the booklists on the how-to's and the lists of stations.  There is also
enough information in most of the suppliers of such equipment to get
you started.  I use the AEA Fax with success and there are several
other vendors out there too.  Universal of all the mail order houses is
probably the most knowledgeable on aspects of utility DXing.

See the 1992 World Radio TV Handbook for an indepth review of the Sony
SW-77 and the SW-55.  Jonathan Marks on Radio Netherland's Media
Network retested the SW-77 a few months ago and found the ills of the
early units had been solved.  It's a non-issue now.
