The World Radio TV Handbook print schedules given to them near the end of
the year (1989) for the 1990 edition.  These schedules usually change near
the end of March, when the spring broadcasting schedule starts.

The Handbook often will also have Spring (and sometimes Summer) schedules
for stations, and include station addresses, transmitter power, and quite
a bit of addtional useful information.

These other "Guides" offer listings of stations heard in North America.
The listings in Monitoring Times is updated monthly, and contains a wide
variety of SW stations that can be heard in NA, listed by time.  It is
a convient list to have by the radio, in case you want to know what is
on at a certain time.  These "Guides" sort through station's schedules,
determine when broadcasts are aimed to  NA in English, and compile the
lists by time.  They are quite handy.
