WRTH Summer 2021 International schedule
Re: WRTH Summer 2021 International schedule
I didn't know they were still publishing a soft cover book. Got my first copy in 1968 (1969 Edition) from the Allied Radio Catalog.
It was the first year that they published all US AM BC stations 1 kW and above Daytime (strangely enough radio station WRTH Wood River, IL is shown as 1/0.5, but it was actually 0.5/1, the first station the FCC allowed to increase power at Night, so it actually didn't meet the criteria for listing). Earlier editions just had AM BC stations 10 kW or more, so WJML was listed but WWJ was not.
I have always liked the facility designations like D1, D3, U1, U2, U3, and U4 for their concise definitions vs. the FCC designations.

Re: WRTH Summer 2021 International schedule
Thanks for the info. I've been dragging my behind about putting up an antenna for the shortwave receiver I was sort of gifted.
(long story).
I think the newest WRTH book I have is about 10 years old. I'm about due. Like the ARRL Manual, that's about how often I buy a new one.

Re: WRTH Summer 2021 International schedule
It has been a while since I got a new WRTH, since the decline in the big national SWBC operators , it seemed to be a waste of money.
If I want info about AM/FM stations in the US and Canada, specific calls or cities, I can refer, on-line to the "radio station Locator" or the FCC databases. There is also a Canadian broadcasting data page I have used. Cavell & Mertz has a great site where you can type in a callsign and see staton info, including directionl anenna pattern and tower placement (my fav thing )
I have also found a great SWBC schedule page on-line where I can type a freq in and ID the station(s) using the frequency in real time.
Still listening
