Book Reviews of Passport to World Band Radio
Book Review: A great investment for both beginners and experienced users
Summary: 5 Stars
The hour-by-hour listings of what's on for each of the major (and not so major) international broadcasters really helps me get my money's worth out of my receiving equipment. I do use the blue pages, which sort broadcasters by frequency rather than time, since I am mostly a casual broadcast listener, but they are invaluable to a DX'er who is simply tuning around and comes across something they are not familiar with. This section would help you locate what you are listening to by frequency and time. My favorite section, every year, is the receiver reviews, since there's so little objective analysis of the hardware available anywhere else.Most seasoned listeners eagerly await the release of Passport to World Band Radio year after year and most new listeners quickly find it as essential as the batteries or the AC adapter.
In my opinion, this is the ultimate shortwave guide. It has reviews of equipment and listings of most every station every station. It is a good book for both beginners and experienced listeners.
A wonderful channel-by-channel guide to world band schedules. So if you are a BBC junky, or need to tune in China Radio, 'Passport' has conveniently listed their air-time schedules for you. Surprisingly, even though 'Passport' fails to list the contact information for radio and antenna manufactures, they list addresses for hundreds of radio station throughout the world that broadcast. So, if you have been desperate to send 'Radio Vlaandren' your your monitoing information so you can obtian that coveted QSL card to complete your collection, the address and contact persons' name is here.
