I have been using the WRTH since 1957... I have used it around the world in my travels with the USAF. I buy one every year just to keep up with the shortwave and Broadcast Radio stations. It is extremely handy for chasing down latest addresses.I am a Ham... K7ATU, WRTH comes in handy when tracking down SW Stations that could interfere with Ham Band frequencies. The WRTH is one book I will always have ready in the shack, and I will buy a new one each year. This year, I got my 2016 Edition on the 4th of January this year!... Color me impressed.
Not as hefty as it used to be and unfortunately not as many station stories as in the past, but still the ultimate reference guide for LW/MW/SW/FM DXing and listening. Still the best after all these years!
World Radio TV Handbook is the world's most accurate and comprehensive directory of global broadcasting. It contains full details by country of radio broadcasts and broadcasters on LW, MW, SW. Like they say this book contains a lot of radio information and other things, a interesting book. Probably used mostly by radio shortwave listeners.
I listen to international short wave radio broadcasts every day. WRTH provides information that cannot be found elsewhere. It's a great supplement to online resources like Short-Wave.info. Lists station address, frequencies, times in UTC, power, target areas, etc. Updates for A16 schedules will be offered as free downloads online.
The decision to 'break out' International broadcasting from domestic that was made many moons ago still grates on me a bit, but the content is still good, and the 70th anniversary features were fun. did well with faster than promised delivery too!
Outstanding compendium of what seems like virtually every public broadcast outlet on the planet. Organized several ways, including shortwave by frequency, and regular broadcasts by country. All this is probably somewhere on the net, but this is so much EASIER than hunting around online. Plus, interesting articles about shortwave and other broadcasts.
It's the WRTH. Sure, you can find a lot (but certainly not ALL) of the info on an app on your phone or online someplace, but there's nothing like the WRTH. The articles, the information on broadcast stations all around the world, the times / frequencies, and receiver reviews are all top notch, like always. And having an honest to goodness BOOK to flip through, well you can't replace that.I try to get a copy every year, and probably will until I can't listen any more.
It's getting to be too expensive. But, it is a classic collection of national/international radio (& TV) info - the only one I know of. I keep mine each year - still have my first (1962!). Good reference for what is left of the shortwave broadcasting world. Same number of pages (672) as last year.
