Here are my thoughts on this book.

Pros: 1. Very reasonably priced as a comprehensive review book and supposedly a money back guarantee.
2. It is current and up to date (as of the April 2003 exam)
3. It has a pretty good variety and quantity of examples and practice problems.

Cons: 1. There are a large number of errors in the example and practice problems. I found at least 50 errors in using this book as a review guide and it is difficult, especially on some of the example problems where I would wonder for half an hour where I went wrong. Some of the errors are obvious, others are difficult or near impossible to spot if you are trying to relearn this material and remember very little. I am sure there are significantly more errors since my review did not cover the book comprehensively and I'm sure I missed a lot as well.
2. The text is not very well written. Some sections go into too much detail while others simply scratch the surface. There were times when I learned more from reading the EIT handbook than from this review book.
3. Lastly, I was a little disappointed when I went to take the practice exam and I found several identical questions to the practice problems provided in the different chapters. The least they could have done was make sure not to reuse questions so that when we'd like to take the practice exam we haven't just seen the questions from review sections.

I was intrigued when I found this large-format paperback guide to international radio frequencies. It's laid out quite well and looks quite good, but unfortunately, now that it's about three years old, a lot of the information is out of date. The guide shows the pitfalls of trying to publish a shortwave frequency guide that isn't updated annually (as is Passport to World Band Radio or the World Radio TV Handbook). There is a somewhat useful list of non-broadcast (utility) stations in the back which is not quite as obsolete as the broadcast listings, plus some general information on shortwave listening in the first section. Given this book is still selling for it's full list price, I'd say save your money for a copy of a more recently-updated shortwave guide.
