A GREAT BUY! - For all the information here, I can t believe this book didn t cost twice as much! Reviews, radio listings, a glossary of terms, etc. Passport to World Band Radio, 2008 really expanded my radio experience by opening my eyes up and tuning my ears into what all else is out there!
Essential Tool for Shortwave Radio Listeners - I have used Passport for almost twenty years now. Before the internet it was the best way (and only practical way) to keep track of schedules and frequencies and still is since my PC can t be everywhere my radio is. It also is a great resource if you are shopping for a shortwave radio as all major sets in all quality and price ranges are reviewed. There is also alot of general information for shortwave listening and information on future trends. No world band listener should be without the most current version of this book.
You won t regret it. BUY IT, BUY IT, BUY IT! - This is a must own for any shortwave listener, form newbies, to professionals. I ve barely scratched the surface of all this book has to offer. My Favorite feature is the blue pages. The blue pages have frequencies down the side, and times along the top, you just find the frequency you re listening to and intersect it with the time, and you ve got the station you re listening to.
Shortwave Radio, SWL, must have - This is a reference/text/fun/must have every year book, for all shortwave radio listeners and alike. It does a wonderful job in all areas of SWL. It provides info on radio selection, all types. New and up-to-date stations,frequencies, countries of origin, time of broadcast, xref. frequencies to stations and times. Interesting ads. You need this book the whole year. It uses high grade paper(its heavy too), has articles on countries, people, stations, things of interest, pictures in many categories. This book is quality cover to cover. Useful for an entire year, and parts of it forever.Is that a great book or what!Extremely Recommended !!!
As Good as it gets - As a new world band radio listener this book is my guide and guru. I live in a rural area and have no neighbors that are interested in world band so I use it as one of my major resources. Coupled with information from the world wide web one can get a start as a listener and have fun listening to what is happening in the world and see how others view the same news event.
