It's an excellent resource for beginner and veteran alike. Visit www.passband.com for details. The 2005 edition is just coming out, too. Also, you'll want to subscribe to Monitoring Times magazine. Each month they publish the shortwave equivalent of a "TV Guide" showing what stations are scheduled to broadcast at a given time, and on what frequency. It's an excellent aid to finding programming on the shortwave bands. MT also carries a lot of information about other aspects of the radio hobby, including scanning and amateur radio, so it'll definitely expand your horizons a bit. -- -- //Steve// Steve Silverwood, KB6OJS Fountain Valley, CA Email: |
