My 2010 WRTH arrived now courtesy Deutsche Welle for whom I monitor.
Jam packed as usual with the latest broadcast info for SW and for me, most importantly, the most comprehensive data on MW that exists. Certainly the "bible" fo the serious DXer. Interesting reviews of the Icom IC-7600 and IC-7000 as receivers and also the Eton Satellit 750. Support this publication and buy your copy now to avoid them folding like PTWBR. John Plimmer, Montagu, Western Cape Province, South Africa South 33 d 47 m 32 s, East 20 d 07 m 32 s Icom IC-7600, Perseus SDR ERGO software Drake SW8. Sangean 803A, Redsun RP2100 Sony 7600D, GE SRIII, Grundig G8, Eton E100 Antenna's RF Systems DX 1 Pro Mk II, Datong AD-270 Kiwa MW Loop. http://www.dxing.info/about/dxers/plimmer.dx |

These publications tend to favor advertisers' products when doing reviews. Are there any full page ICOM ads in the book? Eton by any chance? Any Flex-Radio? Elecraft? Ten-Tec? Perseus? http://www.sherweng.com/table.html |

None for Icom The review speaks very highly of the Icom IC-7000 as a listeners radio, but the review of the IC-7600 hardly does justice to this very fine radio. Perseus was reviewed last year and I think Flex Radio a year before that The Elecraft K3 is said to be very poor for a AM SW/MW listener JP |

You can get beautiful audio from a 7600G. Here's some helpful tutorialness: http://www.arrl.org/tis/info/pdf/020910qex036.pdf |

Only the BEST http://www.wrth.com/ http://www.amazon.com/World-Radio-Ha.../dp/0955548128 http://www.universal-radio.com/catalog/books/3010.html I have a copy, my 1st ever copy of WRTH in my hand right now. I've already put all the web links on Page 670 (some of which fail) into my browser and intend to do more detailed investigation/viewing in this New Year. From what I had read so far this is a great publication and reference document. Well done to Nicholas Hardyman and his team. Nick Southampton, England |

Woo-hoo!
I've got the 2010 WRTH in my hands here in Wisconsin. My wife found one and bought it from a seller in the UK before Christmas which ended up under the tree. Usually I can't lay my hands on one until late January. As always, a beautiful publication although I am going to miss Passport to World Band Radio. SX-25 |
