"...if you have any interest at all in what is happening on the frequencies between the amateur bands, you should certainly keep a copy by your receiver at all times!" - Radcom, January 2005.

Customer Reviews

Outstanding
The other reviewer who focused on the English language issue is way off the mark. I've been reading this book faithfully for over 10 years now - and it's the most useful SWL (short wave listener) guide available.

It not only reviews the latest consumer radios and gadgets, but gives you comprehensive listings of times, stations, and showings. Trying to surf the waves without it would put you at a disadvantage.

One of my favorite features is a listing that - given a frequency and time of day - will tell you what you're probably listening too. In other words, if you're surfing the waves - this book is indispensable to have at your side. Not to mention all of the other listings it has.

Great for beginners
I recently received a shortwave radio as a gift. Without this guide, however, I would have quickly given up trying to listen to shortwave! This is an indespensible guide to learning how to get the best reception, what frequencies to listen to, and what times to listen. The book is easy to browse through and find information regarding broadcasters, specific programming, and frequencies.

This is an essential purchase for anyone getting their first shortwave radio.

This book saved me
I received the grundig FR200 for christmas and was a little lost on how to use it. I was just getting info off of the web and then I received this book as a gift this week and I must say it really helps, The station guides are very helpful and the articles that highlight stations are really informative.I also liked the product reviews and the beginners guide, really answered my questions. I feel this book will be very helpful when I upgrade radios in the future.
