10 What are some books or other resources that can help me get started? (Shortwave radio)

*The Shortwave Listening Guidebook* by Harry Helms is a book that covers many
of the basics of shortwave listening in an easy-to-understand style. The
book should be easily available from most shortwave specialty outlets and
many larger chain bookstores in North America. It is also being published
directly by Mr. Helms, and is therefore likely to stay in print for a while.

Radio Netherlands offers a free Listener Services Catalog listing a number of
free single-topic brochures that they send out upon request. The brochures
range from simple introductions to shortwave listening and antennas to
explanations of computers and solar forecasts. Many of these brochures are
available online at Radio Netherlands' web site at http://www.rnw.nl/rnw/.
