A “get-acquainted guide to the wide world of shortwave,” or, as it might be called, the poor man’s internet. Eavesdrop on spies and smugglers; hear Chinese opera, Swiss polkas, and South Seas chants. Tells how shortwave radios work, where to find the stations you want, how to hook up with other Hams, and how to join the “DXers”—patient listeners (DX is radio lingo for “distance”) who prowl for the most distant frequencies possible, then send for station verifications, which then become “the stuff of collections.” Contains plenty of addresses for more specialized information.

The enigmatic numbers stations, with their seemingly random announcements of numbers, are something of mystery, with their true purpose most likely being the transmission of briefings for the world’s most covert operatives. To the average outside listener, these long lists of numbers, often on exotic frequencies and in foreign tongues, may be an interesting phenomenon but are ultimately just too dull for sustained listening. Surprisingly, or perhaps inevitably, there is a small group of dedicated listeners obsessively documenting such broadcasts. Here are catalogued such classics as: 1920- 019 Gr. 19 1925- 001 Gr. 12 1930- 281 Gr. 14 1940- 154 Gr. 17 1945- 993 Gr. 14 1950- 231 Gr. 13 — “The Russian Woman” March 20, 1991 in AM mode on 4425 kHz. These books give detailed lists of frequencies, times, and language and phonetic alphabets used, with example transmissions. BW
