Product Description
An introduction to the world of international shortwave radio listening - covering history, equipment, terminology, station profiles, broadcast schedules, resources and more. Shortwave radio bands in the US and abroad are a source of alternative news, information, music and commentary, all refreshingly free of routine commercial formatting. "Shortwave Radio Listening for Beginners" aims to show how to listen in on today's most unusual radio broadcasts from across the country and around the world. A long-time shortwave listener and ham radio enthusiast, the author aims to make it easy for beginners to learn how shortwave radio works, what kind of equipment is available and where to find it, what stations can be heard and when and how shortwave listening can come in handy at school or work. The text also details how to become a licensed ham radio operator.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent non-technical survey of shortwave radio and more, August 4, 1999
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.

4.0 out of 5 stars Well worth the read for a beginner., January 17, 1999
By A Customer
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.
