Passport to Worldband Radio Opinions
 
Just received the latest edition... I never read cover to cover but instead
just skip around to the good parts. This year seems to be a really good
edition. More pictures... More reviews... Just more information in general.
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.

I ordered the 2007-PWBR from Buy.com. The shipping date was supposed to
be December,1 but it's in the mail now. They had the 2006 for about $13.
I should have waited a year to order the 2007. :-)

And what opinion about WRTH World Radio TV Handbook? I buy it every year
from 1967 and I think it is very complet, practical and serious, even since
is published by Billboard about ten years ago
Do you know it? Is it better PASSPORT TO WORLD BAND RADIO?
Thank you for advices
Jose Emilio
