What Customers Say About Passport to World Band Radio, 2008 Edition:

the radio book was sent by mistake. i actually wanted 2 copies of warren buffet's financial statements book which was on the order.
Or if you found a great frequency look it up in the "Blue Pages" and find out who is on at a particular time. Didn't know how much I needed this book until I bought it. It even has a section dedicated to what's on in English. Love the section called "What's On Tonight." Just go to the current universal time and check it out. Like it says on the cover, "TV Guide for world band radio." Slick. I was happy to find my receiver was highly rated. If you aren't happy with yours check out the reviews.Like I said, "It's a must have."
For me, the sections on worldwide broadcasts in english, and the "blue pages" - essentially a map of broadcasts by frequency (2.310Mhz-21.850Mhz) are extremely helpful. Many interesting articles and reviews on various receivers, antennas and more. I haven't even looked at the section: "what's on tonight." - features a guide to hour-by-hour listening to worldband programming / shows in english. The book's value to me lies elsewhere though. I'm using a 70's model Realistic DX-160 (analog tuning) radio. I need to get reading.I mean listening. This guide is an excellent value.
For all the information here, I can't believe this book didn't cost twice as much. Reviews, radio listings, a glossary of terms, etc. Passport to World Band Radio, 2008 really expanded my radio experience by opening my eyes up and tuning my ears into what all else is out there.
It also is a great resource if you are shopping for a shortwave radio as all major sets in all quality and price ranges are reviewed. I have used Passport for almost twenty years now. Before the internet it was the best way (and only practical way) to keep track of schedules and frequencies and still is since my PC can't be everywhere my radio is. There is also alot of general information for shortwave listening and information on future trends. No world band listener should be without the most current version of this book.
