Summary: Highly recommended
Review: The WRTH is the best reference book you can probably buy for a serious shortwave listener (SWL-er) or DX-er. The frequency listings and the broadcasters' information is the most complete one available in a book format. Two watch-outs:1.- Information on local AM and TV broadcasters is incomplete and sometimes outdated. But anyway, this book's primary intention is not to give you details about your local TV or radio stations - for that purpose better buy "TV-guide". 2.- The SW frequency listings in the WRTH 2000 edition are missining information about tropical band (local) stations. The missing information is available via Internet on the WRTH site. The stations are correctly listed in the country sections, but omitted in the frequency summary. The section about receiver reviews and propagation data are very complete and professional, much metter than Passport to Worldband Radio. The only missing part is information in which past editions of WRTH specific receivers have been reviewed or how to obtain a re-print of these reviews. I tried to contact WRTH by e-mail in numerous ocassions to get this info, without success. In summary, WRTH is the best reference book for a serious SWL-er or DX-er, but it is more speciallized and limited in broad SW subject coverage than, for example, the Passport to Worlband Radio (also available on Amazon).

Summary: Wonderful DXers Reference
Review: This books' got it all, LW , MW , SW, FM, TV listings. What got me hooked on this book is the LW/MW radio listings. Shortwave guide is a great listeners data source. There is also better reviews on popular high end equipment. I have owned this book title since 1993. This is a great book if you
do all band DXing. The greatest addition is the FM US listings, for major cities , great for the road travellers, and
serious DXers. If you DX or chew the rag with the world, get
this book, you'll thank yourself. It may be in the library,
but you can't put it down once you pick it up. I have had this
book with me, and seriously the 2002 edition is a little worn
out, and I am really ready for the 2003 edition, and so forth!
