World Radio TV Handbook 1997

A reference book for anyone seeking information on radio and television around the world. It provides details of stations on the long-, medium- and shortwave bands, along with contact information: addresses, telephone numbers, senior personnel, e-mail addresses, and more. It gives an hour-by-hour guide to 1000 broadcasts in English, and includes the important winter broadcasting schedules. There are independent reviews of shortwave receivers and accessories, articles with detailed technical information, tuning tips, and recommended programmes. There is also a directory of hobby clubs for international listeners. The redesign, introduced in last year's edition, is intended to make the book more accessible, and a new graphical format has been added to display time and frequency, so that the information is easy to find.
