Global Radio Guide Summer 2021

During times of emergency and crisis, radio hobbyists worldwide turn on their radios and tune to the shortwave radio spectrum for context, perspective, and insight into what is happening around the globe. As tensions heat up in the world’s hotspots, you can follow these events on the radio, but you need an accurate and comprehensive radio guide to know where and when to tune in to hear the action. If you are using our SDRs to navigate the spectrum, you will definitely like the Global Radio Guide from our friends at Teak Publishing.
