Book Reviews of Shortwave Radio Listening for Beginners
Book Review: Well worth the read for a beginner.
Summary: 4 Stars
This book provided an excellent intro into ALL radio, not just shortwave. The book title ignores the fact that the book deals with HAM and Scanner radio. Also, it was a bit elementary, but was filled with lots of helpful explanations and references. For a novice like me it was perfect! Well worth the read.
