I am not a regular short wave listener and I have a SONY ICF-SW7600GR. When I have a few minutes in the evening while I'm reading, I'll surf the airways.
This book comprehensive and informative, yet easy to understand.
Still the best source of shortwave radio information For people who are even only marginally interested in shortwave radio, this is the best resource available. It has information about almost every shortwave station in the world (at least the licensed ones), reviews/ratings of shortwave sets for readers interested in buying a radio, a schedule of airtimes for what the editors consider the best programs on shortwave and some fairly interesting related articles.
One caveat: While Passport stakes a claim to being the "TV Guide of Shortwave Radio" because it makes some effort to follow schedule changes, not all the information about the stations listed is necessarily new. For truly up-to-date schedule information, get a copy of "Monitoring Times" magazine instead.
Libro muy completo Es un libro que todo aficionado a la radio deberia tener. Informa de todas las frecuencias de radio y ademàs tiene una revision de los diferentes receptores del mercado totalmente desinteresada y muy interesante. Muy recomendado y el precio estupendo.
World Band Radio, 2009 Edition Thorough book on world band radios, frequencies and times of day (schedules). Graphical displays of world times, countries, and frequencies of world radio stations. Also included is a good tutorial for first time listeners. This book is considered the Bible for short and medium wave radio stations. I find this book a very useful companion when searching the airways. Useful to just about every experience level.
Passport to World Band Radio I gave my son-in-law a Sony World Band Radio for Christmas and bought this book to go with it. He said having the book was as important as having the radio - he wouldn't have known how to fully understand how the radio can be used.
