  1. I killed off a Borders Gift Card today (the one I got Friday for my Birthday.) I had bought "Digital Apollo" then, and now I got the Feb 2009 issue of "Popular Communications." I had a subscription to this magazine back in High School. I'll let you know if I find something interesting.

    "... There are several publications dedicated to providing information to shortwave listeners, including the magazines Popular Communications and Monitoring Times in the United States, and the annual publications Passport to World Band Radio and the World Radio TV Handbook (WRTH). In addition, stations can provide broadcast schedules through the mail or E-mail. There are also shortwave radio programs dedicated to shortwave listening and DXing, such as the U.S. based World of Radio and DXing With Cumbre, but recently these programs have been curtailed or dropped by many international broadcasters. As of 2007, Radio Habana Cuba still hosts a program called DXers Unlimited. "
