I don't know how we survived our travels before having "Radio on the Road" for reference as we drove across country. No more constantly using our "seek" button to find our favorite programming. -- Wanda Heller

I travel extensively as a consultant and have found Radio on the Road an invaluable "Traveling Companion." This is a first class reference book and enables me to find stations and programming - especially National Public Radio and Talk Show hosts. -- Mark Da Via, Computer Consultant

5.0 out of 5 stars Good Book for late night radio listeners!, November 4, 2000

This review is from: Radio on the Road 2000...the Traveler's Companion (Paperback)

This book is a must for all of you radio nuts out there. Allthough it doesn't have translator (they aren't important thought)stations, this book is still very well written. It has just about every station you can think of. The only thing I wish it had was a TV station listing. I recommend this book to anyone who likes to travel, or just likes picking up far away stations for the fun of it. Since I have had this book, I can now accurately find a station, write it down, and find info about it. This book even tells you what the most powerfull stations in the USA and Canada are. I give it 5 out of 5. You wont be dissapointed! Includes AM stations!

This review is from: Radio on the Road 2000...the Traveler's Companion (Paperback)

Overall the book is adequate however a substantial amount
of the format information is inaccurate. Have also found that at least 10% of the call letters given are no longer active or vacant.
