Just an example of why you can't always believe
everything you read on 
the internet - even "official" information sources
are not always 
accurate or up-to-date.

Here's a link to the present WRNO Worldwide
website:  
http://www.wrnoworldwide.org/

As was detailed in the Aug. 2007 issue of
Monitoring Times magazine, 
the WRNO shortwave station was badly damaged by
Hurricane Katrina, but 
has been rebuilt, and that's what you will not
hear on 7505khz nights 
(and also, apparently, 7395 and 15590 khz although
I haven't heard them 
yet).  Their operating schedule is very limited -
8 to 11 pm CST on 7505 
according to the website.

Here's a link to all the US-based shortwave (or HF
Stations, as the FCC 
calls them):

(There's a note that says they're working on
updates, such as the WRNO 
entry)

And here is the latest 2/09 frequency schedule for
US HF stations:
