International Shortwave Broadcast
Guide -
During each calendar year, there are
two publications that stand very high in the value that they render to the
international radio aficionado. One of
these publications that is issued in paper around the turn of each year, is the
World Radio TV Handbook, which traces its origins way back to the year
1947. The other publication is a regular
electronic version that coincides with the International Shortwave Transmission
Period, actually twice each year.
We pick up this information about
the New Summer 2017 International
Shortwave Broadcast Guide that is now available.

W4GVH. This all important semi-annual information resource is your electronic guide to the world of shortwave radio listening.
The
release of this book is very timely for international radio monitors given the
recent outbreak of tensions in the world hotspots of Eastern Europe, Middle
East, East Asia and the Korean Peninsula.
Shortwave
radio listeners are routinely entertained with unique perspectives to events,
music, culture, history, and news from other countries that you won’t see or
hear on your local or national broadcast channels.
Shortwave
radio broadcasts are not restricted by country borders or oceans, and they can
propagate thousands of miles, reaching millions of listeners worldwide, in over
300 different languages and dialects.
These worldwide transmissions are monitored on internationally assigned
radio frequencies between 1700 kHz and 30 MHz.
There
are even broadcasts from the dark side, transmitted from broadcasters known as
clandestine or clanny stations. Clandestine
broadcasters are wrapped in mystery and intrigue, and they usually exist to
bring about some sort of political change to the country they are targeting. Listeners who live in the United
States can easily hear shortwave broadcast stations from the Americas, Europe,
Africa and Asia with an inexpensive shortwave radio receiver, if you know when
and where to listen!
The
ISWBG is your exclusive 24-hour station/frequency guide to “all” of the known
longwave, selected mediumwave and shortwave radio stations currently
broadcasting at the time of publication.
New
in this eighth edition of the ISWBG is Surfing the Shortwave Radio Bands
without a Radio by senior radio monitor Larry Van Horn. When News Breaks: Getting Your News from the
Front Lines through streaming media by Loyd Van Horn.
Also
included in this edition is increased frequency and station coverage of
longwave broadcasters, selected medium wave broadcast frequencies used by
international broadcasters, all known international standard time and frequency
stations transmitting worldwide, and some selected spy numbers broadcasts.
