Shortwave
listeners now have a single, exhaustive CD source to identify the call signs and
IDs heard in the busy 2-30 MHz global spectrum. More than 500 pages cover every
aspect of collecting QSL cards and other acknowledgments from stations heard in
the HF spectrum. Guidance on collecting, displaying and preserving QSLs is
included.
This
self-loading, easy-to-use reference begins with a comprehensive tutorial on how
to submit a verification report generally as well as specific details and
addresses for querying international broadcasters. Successive chapters cover
hams and utilities like military and Coast Guard, clandestine and pirate
broadcasters, shipping and cruising industries.
A list of call signs for major communications users makes IDing simple, and a quick-check reference page features a handy table of frequency allocations for the shortwave spectrum.
While World QSL Book is current and accurate as or press time, it remains a work in progress. Addresses and trends, like radio frequencies, email addresses, or website URLs can change at any time.
