What do you suggest are the best monthly magazines for shortwave
listeners ?
Monitoring Times tops the list for me. I also enjoy reading Popular
Communications (aka "PopComm").
I did not think much of the September edition. It had an article on
Srilanka that was good and the usual SW schedules were of interest to me
but that was about it. The rest was satellites, scanner stuff and an
article written by some PH.D. on digital radio that was deathly dull.
I'm not sure I will buy it again for $6 bucks unless they start having
more articles about SW stations.
When I was getting back into radio listening a couple of years ago I tried
to find a good magazine. I got samples of all the club newsletters I
could, a couple of PopComms, the BBC mag On Air, very nice but BBC only,
and Monitoring Times.
I ended up getting a subscription to MT. Although there's a lot of non SW stuff
I still found it the best for the money. Even though it costs me $60.00
Canadian per year.
I would like to see a copy of Shortwave Magazine though. Any comments on
that one?
