shortwave radio
If you are just looking for times and frequencies of European sw radio do a web search of the various countries' radio services eg France under RFI ( Radio France International, Germany - Deutsche welle de., Netherlands - Wereldomroep.nl , England BBC etc.etc. , you get the idea.) Each one will have their broadcast schedule with time and frequency and target areas.
Most wil also have online streaming of their broadcasts, and it seems to me they are letting the actual shortwave transmitting deteriorate.
Shortwave radio used to be so interesting but the last few decades it has really gone downhill with all the crackpot evangelical nutbars from the USA setting up studios in anybody's kitchen or garage.Every second station one bumps into seems to be one of those whackos

Hey Roco
I was thinking about a similar thing. I've got a hand-held Uniden 40 channel UHF I use to monitor the truckies when on the highway. I don't suppose it's going to work in Europe???
Regards
Mick

A quick google search reveals...
" ... a list of English language shortwave frequencies audible in Canberra"
Shortwave Frequency List - Canberra Australia
LATER EDIT: Doh! Didn't read carefully, see post below.
