Many radio enthusiasts are familar with the name Jerry Berg-an enthusiastic
and respected radio hobbyist for half a century, chairman of the Committee
to Preserve Radio Verifications, and author of  "On the Short Waves,
1923-1945: Listening in the Pioneer Days of Radio".

Jerry has again combined his talent and love of radio to author two new
books in 2008

Written from the perspective of the American radio listener, Jerry delves
exclusively into the listening side of the hobby to focus on radio
publications such as Monitoring Times, clubs, and the Audience, making the
distinction between the programm listener and the shortwave DXer. The
opening chapter,"Prelude to 1945," looks at early shortwave radio
broadcasting days, followed by "The Shortwave Audience,"making the
distinction between the program listener and the shortwave DXer.[..]

Written from the standpoint of the casual listener, the purpose of this

of each year.[..]
