Is it just me, or is Passport really off on their times?

Since many shortwave broadcasters change their schedules up to four
times a year, a book which is published annually can not be expected to
have accurate program schedules for the entire year. That's the role of
monthly shortwave magazines and the Internet.

It's more than that. Radio Exterior Espana changed both their summer
and winter broadcast frequencies and at the same time cut back English
broadcasts from three to one hour per day. However, three years later
Passport is still posting the same times and frequencies. Ditto, many
of the BBC broadcasts that were cancelled over a year ago are still
published.

I can undeerstand if they miss a few small stations that are not
readily listenable in our area of the world, but we are talking about
major broadcasts here. Dissapointed, you bet, I won't buy another
Passport unless I can review it to verify they really have made at
least an attempt to be up to date.

Shame on Passport
