Customer Reviews

A worth while purchase.

A solid introduction to short-wave Radios and much more (CB radio, Computers, Amateur radio, etc.). The writing is straight forward and very informative. Solid tips that include a small selection of viable radios to purchase. This book along with "Passport to World Band Radio" should be on every serious short-wave enthusiast's bookshelf. Worthy purchase 4 stars.

THE book every shortwave buff should have

The new fifth edition of The Complete Shortwave Listener's Handbook compiles in one place just about everything the radio listening hobbyist needs to get the most out of their pasttime. Andrew Yoder has completely revised and updated the classic handbook with new information on shortwave and mediumwave DXing, long-distance FM listening, antennas, receivers and more. Has extensive coverage of the growing integration of computers in radio listening. While a lot of the information is probably best geared toward the beginning SWL, experienced hands will also find it full of useful reference charts and other information. Besides, it is fun just to read and re-read the various chapters. You'll love it, and keep it close to your radio table!
