For those new to SWL the cost of purchasing a receiver may seem daunting but if you have
access to the Internet then you may hear many short wave stations for free via numerous
SDR Software Defined Radios online. G3NYY has listed several links to them via his Home page.

My most productive was 'MixW' on 7880 (7878.1) kHz daylight hours 3855 (3853.1) kHz evening at 1800 GMT using 160 and 107 in slant adjustment. Go View / Menu / Layout 1 / then Configure / Sound device settings... / Samplerate 11025 / Clock adjustment, ppm: / RX: 160 / TX: 107.
I record the weather map on a recorder for later use.
