just skip around to the good parts. This year seems to be a really good

They changed the cover up a bit. I had heard some people didn't like the
cover style so they changed it a bit. Personally I always liked the covers.
Probably the best money I've spent recently.

Any other opinions?


I stopped buying them after I figured out that the only reason I bought
it was for the radio reviews. The frequency information was in my
opinion not very useful and I found I used Monitoring Times and net
based references a lot more.


I will probably buy the new Passport if only because it's a way to
support the hobby. I agree with you though that the reviews in Passport
aren't nearly as trustworthy as they once were.
