Customer Reviews

Excellent non-technical survey of shortwave radio and more

If you're new to hobby radio, this is THE perfect book to take to the beach and read. Being essentially a "crash survey course" on most things radio, you'll know everything you need to get started with a very small investment in time. This slim volume is by no means a comprehensive guide on everything related to shortwave. It's more the "jump start" to get your motor running. Should you find your interest in listening to far-away places increased after reading her book, I would recommend Harry Helms' "Shortwave Listening Guidebook" as an ideal second book on the subject.

Well worth the read for a beginner.

This book provided an excellent intro into ALL radio, not just shortwave. The book title ignores the fact that the book deals with HAM and Scanner radio. Also, it was a bit elementary, but was filled with lots of helpful explanations and references. For a novice like me it was perfect! Well worth the read.
