An extremely useful, easy-to-read introduction to the world of shortwave radio, long distance AM listening, scanning, and ham radio. Skip Arey does an admirable job in producing a book that provides a thorough explanation of the basics, while providing plenty of reference material for the more seasoned listener. Covers the whole spectrum of radio monitoring in a warm, friendly style. Recievers, antennas, monitoring techniques, it's all there. Destined to become a classic.

This is the definitive, yet easy to read guide on the monitoring hobby. Those of you who have been reading Uncle Skip's work in Monitoring Times or The All Ohio Scanner Club Newsletter will recognize some of his no-nonsense approaches to the various sub-categories of the monitoring hobby.

Skip covers all areas of the Radio hobby from AM-DXing to Scanning.

This book is a must for any radio hobbyist.

This book is an excellent beginners book, and if you have a boring life and want to put some interest into it, this is the book for you! I do want to warn you though that this is a book for beginners only!
