WRTH 2010 arrived in South Africa
John Plimmer
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.

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?

There is a full page ad for the Winradio EXCALIBUR and several ads for
Eton. 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

A superior DX machine shouldn't need to also be a "program listener"
receiver. You can get beautiful audio from a 7600G.
Here's some helpful tutorialness:

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.

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
