I was referring to both Ham and SW. I realize the continuous stations were listed, and even before that, the radio dials had country listings on them,
but the individaul transmissions are sporadic, and sometimes hard to catch, I thought there may be a connect frequency, and move to another to continue conversations, some of this happens on the 10m repeater I can hear.

Scott, are you referring to the ham bands or the SW bands?
I can speak only to the SW bands.
Back in the day, you could cruise the popular SW bands like 49m and 31m in the evening, and there was always plenty to listen to.
You could also tune in specific stations because most of the electronics magazines, like
Popular Electronics?and Electronics Illustrated,?published SW broadcasting schedules in each issue.?

I have been a SWL listener for along time, and it is so haphazard to find users on the air, are there common frequencies to start conversations? In modern days there are scanners that can catch conversations easily. Was tuning through the bands randomly
the way it was done before scanners?
