'must-read' sections with über-informative content far above what many may reasonably expect from a frequency guide ... No other guide, as far as I know, contains such eye-opening details, and Jörg Klingenfuss deserves much praise for reminding us of this framework ... In conclusion, this remains the most comprehensive guide currently available, and it looks set to remain the go-to gold-standard reference for many years to come in our ever-changing world. Essential, accurate, reliable and highly recommended, indeed."

Zacharias Liangas, Greece - 21 October 2021: "2021/2022 Guide to Utility Radio Stations ... I'm unsure which was my first but the earliest I have is the 1999 guide, a huge book for that time with more than 600 pages. - For me it was something as like driving to the land of the unknown, a guide that used a total different format than the old pal WRTH. - Very soon I was adapted to the content of the book. Separate part for the frequencies that is the half of the book size, separate part for the countries plus a lot of useful parts as meteo or radio fax listings by time, also NAVTEX listings on the main frequencies of 518 or later 490, aero services, SINPO and SIPFEMO codes, the Q and Z codes, ... - As you can understand this book saved my life from identifying unknown stations! - In more recent conditions i.e. since mid 2019 and with the huge availability of remote Kiwi SDR receivers and little later, it would be a good choice to once again check once again the bands with a new guide from Klingenfuss.

Bob Grove W8JHD, Review Editor, in The Spectrum Monitor, United States of America - February 2021: "2021 Shortwave Frequency Guide ... 2021/2022 Guide to Utility Radio Stations ... 2021 Super Frequency List on CD ... Changes to radio communications: digital electronics, encoded transmissions, solid-state miniaturization of equipment, and emergence of new listening targets, as well as the evaporation of previous stations, are but a few. - Throughout the past five decades, the leading purveyor of shortwave frequency lists has been Joerg Klingenfuss, whose numerous, annually-updated publications are perused by not only shortwave hobbyists, but by major communications manufacturers and government agencies because of the products' comprehensive and accurate contents."
Georg Wiessala, Editor of Radio User, United Kingdom - February 2021: "2021 Shortwave Frequency Guide ... 2021/2022 Guide to Utility Radio Stations ... 2021 Super Frequency List on CD ... Like many others, I have been using both of those professional frequency lists, besides other Klingenfuss books, for decades - both for short wave broadcast listening and DXing and for utility signal monitoring - as a traveller, SW enthusiast and technically-interested editor. There were no travels this year, and it has been especially important to me to have plenty of accurate and verifiable frequency data during my much-increased DXing activity in lockdown ... Web-SDRs ... a particular interest of Jörg's for some years now. - Much like the 2021 Shortwave Frequency Guide, 2021/2022 Guide to Utility Radio Stations benefits from an extremely informative introduction, which includes background data ... I particularly enjoyed the sections on automatic monitoring and direction-finding with wideband SDRs, for example, the Kiwi-SDR infrastructure ... the many instructive screenshots ... throughout the book are a great resource and will keep you busy for years. - In some areas, short wave radio transmissions- of this there can be no doubt- continue to be on the rise worldwide, be it in utility, scientific, military and clandestine contexts, through digital HF networks and digital utility station radionets ... remember, at no time have we had such a broad spectrum of technologies and means to receive and decode many of these transmissions, with a minimum of effort ... This wealth of information is without equal at present, these two books, the CD, and the other Klingenfuss products, continue to be the best treasury keys you can currently get. Updated with new information, utterly dependable and trustworthy, as always, there is no doubt that these are a must for everyone interested in HF communications in all their variety."
Glenn Briden VE3051SWL, Canada - 12 February 2021: "2021/2022 Guide to Utility Radio Stations ... 2021 Shortwave Frequency Guide ... Nothing else to say other than don't know how I would monitor shortwave without your great guides every year."

Sam Thurman, United States of America - 23 and 27 November 2020: "Thank you for offering your Shortwave Frequency Guide and other products online!

Even though the SW band has changed dramatically in the last 30 years, there is still something magical."
Michael McConnel, United States of America - 13 March 2020: "2019/2020 Guide to Utility Radio Stations ... 2020 Shortwave Frequency Guide ... Radio Data Code Manual ... Radiotelex Messages ... Double CDs with Modulation Types ... the books and disks arrived yesterday ... can hardly put them down, fascinating reading ... wishing you all the best in your radio efforts."
John Smith K3GO, United States of America - 9 March 2020: "I have been using your shortwave and utility books for 39 years. I fondly remember the first booklets and my primitive teletype serial port computing equipment before we had Windows and GUI. You do a great job ... I wish you the best for all you do for the hobby community."
Georg Wiessala, Editor of Radio User, United Kingdom - February 2020: "... we all require updated intelligence on what to listen for, and when. The Klingenfuss 2020 Shortwave Frequency Guide has been the go-to reference for decades, and this year's new edition is no exception. Although the Klingenfuss titles are widely used in government, intelligence and other professional circles - a strong recommendation in itself - I am looking here at the book(s) from the point of a radio enthusiast, editor, short wave listener and occasional DXer. - I normally use this title in conjunction with another one, the Klingenfuss Guide to Utility Stations, currently out in its 30th edition, for 2019/2020, and together with the 2020 Super Frequency List on disk. That's because I am interested in utility signals on HF, both in terms of the techniques used and issues of decoding, modulation types, and signal analysis. - The 2020 Shortwave Frequency Guide is, once again, weighty, both in terms of the quality and extent of the listings and by means of the extremely useful additional information contained in this resource, which you will be hard-pressed to find elsewhere ... across the book, you will find plenty of screenshots and visualisations of what exactly there actually still is, on short wave. More than you think, in fact. This will sharpen your appetite for what there is to come ... For me, the biggest advantage of Chapter 2 of the title, Monitoring Professional Utility Radio Stations, are the textbook-level explanations of issues such as reception and demodulation, the use of Software-Defined Receivers (SDR), the value of the Klingenfuss team's vast monitoring experience, and the wealth of services available via HF utility signals, from weather observations to HF e-mail, and from aeronautical communications and public safety to marine, other military and humanitarian networks. The value of the annual Klingenfuss offerings lies exactly in this breadth and depth of coverage, and in the meticulously-researched detail. If you have followed Nils Schiffhauer's last series of columns on Utility Monitoring in Radio User over the last two years, you will not want to be without this book. If you are into web-SDRs, or standalone SDRs, for that matter, you will find here the very latest, in regard to equipment and/ or websites, such as the Kiwi-SDR system and the Open Web RX Project of András Retzler HA7ILM - all amply illustrated with immaculate screenshots. In this context, related topics like direction-finding and SDR-recording are also explained and illustrated at length, and then some. - The frequency list of utility radio stations comes next and covers 20 to 27870 kHz ... Broadcast stations ... a page or two on DRM, and a useful primer on the future, emphasising, for example, that 'professional digital utility station radionets are on the rise.' Here - unlike in any other frequency guides I know of - you will also find some vital historical context of short wave radio, from the Cold War situation to today's Chinese Takeaway of the airwaves. - Against this background, I found section 4.4 particularly revealing; it is entitled 'Internet, SATCOM and HF Radio in Dictatorships: Censorship of the Internet and Restricted Online Access vs. Free Worldwide Shortwave Reception for Everybody'. You get the idea: HF cannot be switched off, and Klingenfuss makes a convincing case here for the continued - and rising relevance - of the medium, which governments ignore at their peril, or with deliberate manipulative intent. As vital as the future of HF radio is the awareness of its political context. - In all, this is a comprehensively-researched and totally indispensable book for any utility monitor, short wave enthusiast, or, indeed, anyone who wishes to look behind some of the smokescreens of fake news and misinformation to understand the world from other perspectives and viewpoints. And this is, after all, why we are all into short wave radio, isn't it?"
Bob Grove W8JHD, Review Editor, in The Spectrum Monitor, United States of America - February 2020: "2020 Shortwave Frequency Guide ... Over the decades of the shortwave listening hobby, many frequency lists have been introduced. Names like Radio TV News, Confidential Frequency List, Shortwave Directory, Monitoring Times, Popular Communications, Shortwave Frequency Directory, World Radio/TV Handbook, and more could be found on every shortwave listener's bookshelf. - One additional name is arguably the most exhaustive and detailed directory in print: Joerg Klingenfuss' Shortwave Frequency Guide ... It is a combination of the two basic radio resources on shortwave: utilities and broadcasters. - For those listeners who prefer instant informational access via computer, the guide is also available as the 2020 Super Frequency List on CD-ROM ... this handy CD allows rapid call-up of enormous amounts of data, starting with all the frequency entries from the book, then includes 23,800 formerly-active frequencies, and more than 900 screenshots of digital-data pages from off the air via SDRs, Kiwi SDRs, and Web SDRs. - Joerg Klingenfuss never disappoints serious shortwave listeners with his exhaustive databases, and these two latest releases are no exception."
Nicolas Perrin, France - 14 February 2020: "2019/2020 Guide to Utility Radio Stations ... 2020 Shortwave Frequency Guide ... Many thanks for the hard work."
Glenn Briden VE3051SWL, Canada - 15 January 2020: "4th year in a row your guides are the best by far. Thanks for continuing them each year."
Maurizio Vecchi, Italy - 30 December 2019: "I am reading the Radio Data Code Manual very carefully and with pleasure. I am very interested in DSC and NAVTEX ..."
Piero Bordino, Italy - 26 November 2019: "2020 Super Frequency List on CD ... very useful ... Thank for your help for my SWL hobby."
Maurizio Vecchi, Italy - 4 November 2019: "I have your Utility publications. Congratulations on your work. I read in the first pages very interesting info about your activity."
Bernard Marchal, Radio Club Hotel Echo, France - 10 April 2019: "2019/2020 Guide to Utility Radio Stations ... Paper version still an important and practical alternative for monitoring."
Simon Lucas M3ZYH, United Kingdom - 10 March 2019: "2019/2020 Guide to Utility Radio Stations ... 2019 Super Frequency List on CD ... excellent publications."
Georg Wiessala, Editor of Radio User, United Kingdom - March 2019: "All of the 2019 editions of the equally indispensable publications from the radio publications stable of Jörg Klingenfuss are of huge potential interest to readers of Radio User. I have had two books, in particular, crossing my desk this year; the 2019 Shortwave Frequency Guide and the 2019/2020 Guide to Utility Radio Stations. - Both of these, and other Klingenfuss products are widely used in professional as well as hobby monitoring circles worldwide, and, in 2019, they continue to set the benchmark for how listening guides should be done. - The 2019 Shortwave Frequency Guide is the 23rd edition of this excellent publication, and it, once more, offers extremely comprehensive frequency lists of both professional HF utility and broadcast radio stations on a global scale, including indispensable information, such as mode, the location target area(s), transmission times, language information, and much more besides. Don't skip over Chapters One and Two, on monitoring utility signals, because the depth of background information on everything from politics and equipment offered here, is unprecedented and includes SDR receivers, web-SDR technology, automatic monitoring and types of services, such as HF E-Mail and others. Both the listings of utility stations, and those on broadcast radio are prefaced by informative, and meticulously-researched introductions, on such issues as DRM and the future of radio. - Among all frequency guides I am aware of, the Klingenfuss books are the only ones, which provide insightful critical comment and analysis on the history and politics of short wave broadcasting, touching on topics like EU regulations, Chinese short wave dominance, the vulnerability of internet-infrastructure, the internet, SATCOM and HF radio in dictatorial regimes, the absurdly premature abandonment of short wave by some states - Germany among them - and much else. This provides some much-needed context to your DXing if you are interested in more than merely accumulating 'catches'. - A number of meaningful screenshots and an alphabetical list of broadcast radio stations, as well as, a number of other indices and lists of acronyms and transmission sites make this volume complete. - If you are specialising in utility signals, you might also wish to acquire other Klingenfuss books and CDs, such as the 2019/2020 Guide to Utility Radio Stations. The 30th edition of the latter, which includes the 38th edition of the Guide to Radioteletype Stations, stands out for its in-depth. There are 216+ pages of comprehensive utility stations listings. The additional and background details provided include information on IDs, callsigns, classes of stations, Q/Z codes, acronyms, and much more. I particularly liked (and used) the chapters on the A-Z of utility stations, aeronautical, maritime mobile, meteorological and NAVTEX transmissions. A noteworthy, and unusual, innovation in both books has to be the content relating to the possibilities afforded for direction-finding using the Kiwi-SDR system, which readers can find at the end of Chapter Two (in both books). These show workflow screenshots, which I am not aware of being offered in any other frequency book at the moment." (Click here!) "Whatever your slice of the hobby cake is, you will find a wealth of information on it in here - all significantly enriched by those indispensable, high-quality, screenshots and auxiliary reference materials."
Georg Wiessala, Editor of Radio User, United Kingdom - March 2019: "Radiotelex messages ... 25 years of global radio monitoring, mainly in terms of radioteleprinter and data comms. Leafing through a book like this ... made me aware that - then as now - there is no medium as political as is international radio ... it reflects the landscape and language of international power of former decades. For example, the reader discovers transmissions on such diverse issues as human rights in Egypt and was was then Czechoslovakia, French news bulletins from Algeria to Central America, reports on assassinations of members of the government in Pakistan and Russia, notes on the initiation of a new transmission network in Northeast China's Jilin Province ... Perhaps my favourite is the 1978 Fax from the Austrian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, informing recipients that it was -20 degrees centigrade at the time. 'This', the sender adds, 'will make the polar bears at Schönbrunn Castle happy." As a historical momento, this is riveting stuff."
Bob Grove W8JHD, Review Editor, in The Spectrum Monitor, United States of America - January 2019: "Experienced listeners to the shortwave spectrum recognize the name Joerg Klingenfuss as the most comprehensive publisher of accurate and timely frequency guides. At the top of the list are his shortwave and utility guides, and the Super Frequency List CD. Additional specialty products include screenshots on memory sticks, code books, and signal sounds CDs. - When we mention shortwave listening, that most commonly refers to the monitoring of international broadcasts. For many of us, our introduction to the world of shortwave radio was by listening to the BBC on Grandma's Philco. The intercontinental mire of radio broadcasts grew significantly during the mid-twentieth century and keeping track of who was when and where on the dial became a challenge. The listening hobby grew, and many magazines were born to support the interest. - The 2019 Shortwave Frequency Guide ... fills nearly three-hundred-fifty pages with numerically-ascending frequencies, both broadcasting and utilities (the communicators) ... The panoply includes fixed and portable / mobile and covers amateur, maritime, aeronautical, government, commercial, military and more. - The 2019/2020 Guide to Utility Radio Stations ... has nearly five-hundred-fifty pages, packed with details of communicators around the globe ... In addition, this volume includes a massive collection of printouts of digital data transmissions along with their sources and frequencies. - The 2019 Super Frequency List ... all this information on a convenient disc so that you can access all this information on your computer? Well, you can ... Now improved over previous editions for ease of use, its search feature now allows you to query the usual frequency, country call sign, modulation, start time, or station, and also supports full-text word searches; for example, typing USAF USB brings up lists of US Air Force, upper-sideband, communications channels. - These publications are a must-have for the serious shortwave listener ... also available from TSM advertisers such as Universal Radio ... "
Ronald Birnbaum WY1R, United States of America - 9 December 2018: "2019/2020 Guide to Utility Radio Stations ... 2019 Shortwave Frequency Guide ... 2019 Super Frequency List on CD ... Thank you for your service. For decades we have relied on your research and outstanding products."
Martien van Lieshout, Netherlands - 22 November 2018: "2019/2020 Guide to Utility Radio Stations ... For years the Guide to Utility Radio Stations is for me a reference. Also the Radio Data Code Manual and the Modulation CDs are a great help."
Gaby Delassus F5PSI, France - 12 October 2018: "2019/2020 Guide to Utility Radio Stations ... in the past, I've been one of your customers since a long time, in the 80 and 90! buying many of your serious books."
Marco Frau, Italy - 5 October 2018: "2017/2018 Guide to Utility Radio Stations ... I received today the book all super OK!"
Richard Roush KA8BDD, United States of America - 16 May 2018: "2018 Super Frequency List on CD ... This is simply amazing! One does not have to travel the world for great DX, just tune a Kiwi-SDR from a remote spot. We have come so far in technology."
John Palmer M0LCD, United Kingdom - 5 April 2018: "2018 Frequency Database for the Perseus Receiver ... I am most grateful and your service is the best I have ever had. I have used your books and CD's over the last 20 years. I have still got the books from way back in 1999. In those days I purchased them from the RSGB bookshop. I have used other books on the same subject, but never as good as yours. I will be ordering other titles in the next few days. Again many thanks for your first class service."
Javier Tresanchez EA3VO, Spain - 12 March 2018: "2017/2018 Guide to Utility Radio Stations ... 2018 Shortwave Frequency Guide ... I have been buying your books for years now at the Hispano Americana Bookstore in Barcelona."
Georg Wiessala, Editor of Radio User, United Kingdom - March 2018: "2018 Shortwave Frequency Guide ... meticulously researched ... The clandestine radio stations list offered here is unrivalled. The book is enriched by screenshots and is used by a number of professional monitors and services around the world. The contextual information on utility monitoring, modes in use and legal restrictions is one of the best I have seen. It will pave the way into this fascinating part of the hobby for many enthusiasts and readers of Radio User's new utility monitoring column. The publication, like others, has moved with the times and there is much of interest here for those interested in HF e-mail, short wave radiograms, web-SDR listening and automatic monitoring and recording techniques, in fact, the book is worth its price for its survey of the future of a range of radio transmissions alone. Unlike the other guides reviewed here, the Klingenfuss list makes no bones about the underlying politics of radio, the use of radio by extremists of all kinds and about the utter foolishness of leading international broadcasters to discontinue short wave transmissions at a time when the world needs them most. There are also a few home truths about DRM, internet censorship and radio and political repression world-wide. It is refreshing to find this kind of background made more explicit in a title of this nature. Like its predecessor editions, this title is, therefore, highly-recommended."
Marinus Kremer, Netherlands - 27 February 2018: "2017/2018 Guide to Utility Radio Stations ... The book has arrived in good condition and I am very happy with it."
Arnoud van Ekris, Netherlands - 31 January 2018: "2018 Shortwave Frequency Guide ... 2017/2018 Guide to Utility Radio Stations ... Radio Data Code Manual ... CD Recording of Modulation Types ... I have received the books and CD's in good condition due the splendid packing!!!"
Glenn Briden VE3051SWL, Canada - 10 December 2017: "2018 Super Frequency List on CD ... I can not imagine listening to shortwave radio without your guide."
Robert Dodt, United Kingdom - 8 November 2017: "2018 Shortwave Frequency Guide ... I have used your very excellent SW Frequency Guides for years."
Mike Richards G4WNC, Decode Editor, in Radio User, United Kingdom - May 2017: "2017/2018 Guide to Utility Radio Stations ... 2017 Super Frequency List on CD ... Jörg Klingenfuss has been producing HF frequency lists for professional and hobby users for many years and his lists remain the most accessible and comprehensive ones available."
Radio User, United Kingdom - April 2017: "2017/2018 Guide to Utility Radio Stations ... 2017 Shortwave Frequency Guide ... 2017 Super Frequency List on CD ... Over the past 48 years, Klingenfuss Publications has built a reputation for producing superb frequency guides and reference books that are of interest to both professional and hobby radio enthusiasts. Whether your interest lies in aeronautical, maritime or military communications, news agencies, non-governmental organisations, standard frequency and time signal stations or weather broadcasts, these Klingenfuss publications are likely to be very useful reference sources. The combination of these items should meet the needs of most devotees for the low frequency, medium frequency and shortwave bands."
Roland Elst PE1PIN, Netherlands - 25 March 2017: "2017/2018 Guide to Utility Radio Stations ... Received today looking great. The last version I ordered in 2007..... so big changes."
Peter Rovardi G4HSB, United Kingdom - 21 March 2017: "2017 Frequency Database for the Perseus Receiver ... Rapid service!!"
Ronald Birnbaum, United States of America - 26 January 2017: "2017/2018 Guide to Utility Radio Stations ... 2017 Super Frequency List on CD ... Glad to order from you again. Last time was about 30 years ago. Getting older ..."
John Wasciuk WA8TON / VO1TON, ARROW Communication Association, Ann Arbor MI, United States of America - 26 January 2017: "I would like to cordially thank you for giving a door prize for our Dayton Hamvention bus trip on May 21, 2016! The 2016 Shortwave Frequency Guide and the 2016 Super Frequency Guide on CD were highly coveted items by every one of our participants!"
Bob Grove W8JHD, Review Editor, in The Spectrum Monitor, United States of America - January 2017: "2017/2018 Guide to Utility Radio Stations ... the 29th edition of this superb reference should put to rest any suspicion that shortwave utility use is waning. - 2017 Shortwave Frequency Guide ... separately addresses broadcast and utility stations. For new shortwave listeners, an introductory section outlines various classes of stations that can be monitored on the shortwave spectrum. It is a global overview of modes, countries, and services. - 2017 Super Frequency List on CD is a massive compendium of the print guides' contents ... has a voluminous collection, nearly 500 examples, of digital images actually taken from the shortwave spectrum."
Daniel Gillet VE2XWA, Canada - 10 July 2016: "CD Recording of Modulation Types ... I received my package yesterday. As usual im very impressed by the quality of your work." - 27 June 2016: "I'm a big fan of your books since many years!"
Frank Ravenswood K2NCC, United States of America - 6 March 2016: "One thing I have a lot of in this house, is printed material. Shelves and boxes of knowledge I wish I could better retain, but enjoy nonetheless along the way. Most eventually get traded, donated, sold, but some I just never get rid of. Reference books mostly, many with information not found online. Yeah, it was a surprise to me too, everything isn’t on the Web! The Klingenfuss guides are a great example."
Bob Grove W8JHD, Review Editor, in The Spectrum Monitor, United States of America - February 2016: "For the consummate monitor of the radio spectrum, two major sources dominate the frequency directory compendium. For scanner enthusiasts it's the radioreference.com website, and for shortwave aficionados it's Joerg Klingenfuss's comprehensive collection in print and on CDs. Joerg has been a leader in shortwave publications for decades, covering both broadcasting and utilities; his latest issues are excellent examples of his continuing effort to offer professional and comprehensive volumes. 2016 Shortwave Frequency Guide ... This 20th print edition should provide ample evidence to refute the 'shortwave is dead' myth. Last year's volume had 360 pages. This year's volume? Still 360 pages. While it is true that the broadcasters are slowly but surely emigrating from the HF spectrum, utility stations are actually on the rise. As might be expected with the dwindling broadcast users of the HF spectrum, there are only about half the number of frequencies in this list as there were for utilities. For convenience to the listener, Klingenfuss addends the frequency list with a cross reference of stations listed alphabetically by country. Clandestine stations have a list of their own, with such notables as Radio Libertad, Voice of Freedom, Sound of Hope, Voice of the People and many, many more. - 2015/2016 Guide to Utility Radio Stations ... includes a January 2016 supplement and is far more detailed than the Shortwave Frequency Guide."
Fabio Cambisi, Italy - 15 January 2016: "2016 Super Frequency List on CD ... Always wonderful work."
John Collins, United States of America - 25 December 2015: "2016 Frequency Database for the Perseus Receiver ... 2016 Super Frequency List on CD ... 2016 Shortwave Frequency Guide ... 1997-2016 Digital Data Decoder Screenshots on USB Stick ... I have just received the 2016 version updates ... Everything looks great and software loaded with no issues ... I am very pleased!

Mike Richards G4WNC, Decode editor of Radio User, United Kingdom - February 2014: "Klingenfuss Publications has been producing excellent radio reference books and frequency lists for the short wave community for many years. The Klingenfuss books are backed by a worldwide monitoring network and are one of the few publications of this type that are updated annually. As a result, you can generally count on their references to provide good quality up to date information. 2014 Shortwave Frequency Guide ... This is a great book for readers with a wide interest in short wave radio because it covers both utility and broadcast stations in a single 360-page volume. As with all Klingenfuss books, the print quality and binding are excellent and the book will remain open at the selected page without stressing the binding. To summarise, the 2014 Shortwave Frequency Guide is a very comprehensie and handy book for the shack and contains a useful summary listing of all utility and broadcast transmissions."

Mike Richards G4WNC, Decode editor of Radio User, United Kingdom - February 2012: "2012 Shortwave Frequency Guide ...

Martin Smith M0MWS, United Kingdom - 7 December 2011: "WAVECOM W-PCIe Digital Data Decoder Card and W-CODE Digital Data Software Decoder ... I also understand, I get a copy of your monitoring books as well. Last ones I received, with my WAVECOM W40PC card, kept me very busy for ages :-) "
Mike KA3JJZ, United States of America, on forums.radioreference.com - 11 August 2011: "2011/2012 Guide to Utility Radio Stations ... The Klingenfuss guide is very good ...

It contains a lot of information, with a couple of folded pull-out pages of tables and maps. The bulk of the book is frequency lists, computer screen prints of digital transmissions (nice to see what these signals look like), with misc reference material in the back of the book. A lot of useful data in one handy place. A CD-ROM companion is also available separately. It's a very sturdy book which should hold up quite well with heavy use. Recommended."

Anker Petersen, Chairman of Danish Shortwave Clubs International, in Shortwave News - January/February 2011: "On the 24th of October 2010 the B10 winter schedules became effective. Already on the 11th of December I received the 2011 Shortwave Frequency Guide (SWFG) with the 2011 Super Frequency List (SFL) on a CD from Jörg Klingenfuss, Germany. The Broadcasting part begins with an updated article about DRM which overall is described to have been a flop! I prefer the SWFG when I scan the SW broadcast bands, because the current schedule and language is available at each frequency in time order. At the same time Klingenfuss has published the 17th Edition of the SFL with the same 8,000 broadcast frequencies and 8,300 utility frequencies in use plus 22,100 formerly active frequencies. This modern tool is very easy to use on a PC using Microsoft Windows and has excellent search functions for specific frequencies, countries, stations, languages, call signs and times - or any combination thereof!"

Universal Radio, Online Catalog, United States of America - 19 December 2010: "2011/2012 Guide to Utility Radio Stations ... The world's best guide to non-broadcast stations in the range of 0 - 30 MHz. The beginning chapters offer an education on monitoring international HF comm traffic. We recommend this title as the very best of its type. - Radio Data Code Manual ... Here you will get the hard-to-find technical details of most HF protocols ... A great reference for the intermediate or advanced teletype enthusiast or anyone wishing to understand transmission protocols."

Helmuth W Kump KT3L, United States of America - 24 February 2010: "Passport to World Band Radio in Limbo ... I have found a worthy salve for my gaping Blue Pages wound, in the Klingenfuss 2010 Shortwave Frequency Guide, but at a somewhat dear price ... This is an excellent resource which includes utility stations and lots of supplemental information, including schedules by broadcaster as well as by frequency. You get what you pay for: the physical quality of the book is excellent. It will lie flat, and it's easy-to-read, with high-quality pages that can be thumbed through quickly. I highly recommend you view the online sample before purchasing to see if it is your cup of tea. Klingenfuss also offers its manuals in CD-ROM format, and although I have not tested this, you should be able to produce custom listings by filtering on language, time, country, etc."

Dennis Brewer, United States of America's Broadcasting Board of Governors, Radio Free Asia, Relay Station Udorn, Thailand - 18 January 2010: "2010 Super Frequency List on CD ... Your frequency lists are incredibly good."
Anker Petersen, Chairman of Danish Shortwave Clubs International, in Shortwave News - January/February 2010: "2010 Shortwave Frequency Guide ... a comprehensive shortwave frequency list which for each frequency contains a line for each broadcast, practicably arranged in time order within each frequency. That includes exact times, transmitter site, language and target area. I prefer the Shortwave Frequency Guide when I scan the shortwave broadcast bands. In mid-December 2009 I listened to 50 broadcast stations at random in frequency band and time and identified them 100 %, no matter what language, and made a comparative analysis. WRTH 95 % correct, 2010 Shortwave Frequency Guide 96 % correct. - 2010 Super Frequency List on CD: This modern tool is very easy to use on a PC using Microsoft Windows and has excellent search functions for specific frequencies, countries, stations, languages, call signs and times - or any combination thereof!"

Bob Grove W8JHD, Chief Editor, in Monitoring Times, United States of America - March 2009: "2009/2010 Guide to Utility Radio Stations ... The shortwave spectrum continues to be home to a myriad signals, both voice and data, communicating globally. Trying to identify these stations can be a challenge, but with an accurate, up-to-date directory, the task is much easier. Joerg Klingenfuss' Guide to Utility Radio Stations has become the standard source on monitoring the first 30 MHz of the radio spectrum. Information-packed chapters on digital data transmissions, along with hundreds of screen shots of decoded transmissions, assist the monitor in nailing down the sources of digital transmissions. Every serious shortwave listener should treat himself to this essential consummate reference. - 2009 Shortwave Frequency Guide ... Frequency information, as well as parallel frequencies, appear to be as accurate as possible considering seasonal frequency adjustments. As with other hobby publications, the Shortwave Frequency Guide uses a respected staff of leading radio contributors, providing the latest in information on the broadcast scene. The Klingenfuss Shortwave Guide remains a favorite reference in my listening post. The book layout for quick information access is easy to use. Whether monitoring a utility or broadcast station, this basic, no frills method of radio reference remains an asset to every listener. - 2009 Super Frequency List on CD ... Now in its 15th annual edition, this CD is the quintessential standard of reference for shortwave listeners. It is a massive, accurate composite of clandestine, utility and broadcasting stations listed in frequency order, which the listener can browse and search with key words. If you want instant information on stations heard in the 3-30 MHz spectrum, this CD is for you!"
Mike Richards G4WNC, Decode editor of Radio User, United Kingdom - March 2009: "2009/2010 Guide to Utility Radio Stations ... Klingenfuss has considerable experience and that shows in the latest release. This annually updated guide is an amazing piece of work, not only for the breadth of its content but also because Joerg uses monitoring stations all over the world to capture and validate the content. One of the points that make the Klingenfuss list unique is the constant worldwide monitoring. - 2009 Super Frequency List on CD ... includes some excellent and very fast search routines. The search engine searches as you type so you will generally find the result waiting for you as soon as you finish typing!"
B W Burt MM0GLX, Station Manager, Radio Monitoring Station, Greenock, Scotland, United Kingdom - 15 February 2009: "2009/2010 Guide to Utility Radio Stations ... 2009 Shortwave Frequency Guide ... 2009 Super Frequency List on CD ...

Nils Schiffhauer DK8OK, Radio Editor, Germany - 13 January 2009: "Klingenfuss frequency database for the MICROTELECOM Perseus LF-HF Software-Defined Receiver ... Renowned DXer Joerg Klingenfuss, editor of his Guides to Utility Radio Stations (recognized as 'Gold Standard', now in its 25th volume), has stripped and converted his list of utility stations to fit Perseus' userlist.txt format. This works, as I just tried out, and is indispensable for utility DXers."

Anker Petersen, Chairman of Danish Shortwave Clubs International, Denmark - 5 December 2008: "2009 Shortwave Frequency Guide and 2009 Super Frequency List on CD ...

Well done for this spot check!"
"hamradiooperator", United States of America, on Godlike Productions Forum - 30 October 2008: "Short Wave Radio Frequencies??? The book you want to get is called the Shortwave Frequency Guide by Klingenfuss. Thousands of frequencies. It lists all the frequencies of utility stations, broadcast stations and pirate radio stations. It shows what exact time the broadcast starts, and ends. It shows where the broadcast originates from (basically country and city). It also shows what continent the broadcast is targeted to. It lists remarks that shows in cases of what days of the week, or season the broadcast takes place."
Bob Grove W8JHD, Chief Editor, in Monitoring Times, United States of America - August 2008: "I have had the opportunity over the last 30 years to observe first hand the changes that have taken place in the HF spectrum. You will notice that the HF radio spectrum of yesterday looks nothing like the HF spectrum of today. Nowhere is this more dramatically demonstrated than in the digital modes used on HF frequencies. While some old-timers claim the bands are dead and shortwave is being abandoned, nothing could be further from the truth. The bands are as active as ever, but the modes and services transmitting on HF have changed. It's the listening hobby that, for the most part, has not kept up with the times. If you want to get on board this changing world of HF digital communications, one publication stands out above all the rest - the Klingenfuss Radio Data Code Manual. Now in its 18th edition, Joerg Klingenfuss has literally compiled an encyclopedia of digital information for the HF radio spectrum in this voluminous publication. This standard international reference book is indispensable for identifying HF radio stations using various digital modes. If you plan on really listening to the HF digital spectrum of today, then you need this book on your reference shelf."
Randy Wynn, United States of America - 1 July 2008: "I really enjoy looking through the 2008 Guide to Utility Radio Stations and also the 2008 Shortwave Radio Guide. Both books are very informative."
Mike Richards G4WNC, Decode editor of Radio User, United Kingdom - July 2008: "The Radio Data Code Manual is one of the most important references for the serious utility listener simply because it brings together a vast amount of technical information that's not available in any other single publication. The manual has been written by enthusiasts and is widely used by both professional and hobby users around the world. I particularly like the baud rate tables in the section covering identification of digital data systems. Using the signal's baud rate along with these tables, you can narrow down the possibilities for an unknown signal very quickly. This is almost always faster than automated mode recognition software. To further help identification, the digital section includes lots of high quality screenshots from the WAVECOM W61 digital data decoder. The Radio Data Code Manual continues to be the prime reference for those interested in monitoring a wide range of radio transmissions. The content is bang up to date and the range of information is not available in any other single publication."
Randy R Wynn, United States of America - 28 April 2008: "The 2007/2008 Guide to Utility Radio Stations is very well put together, and very informative, and can't wait to get next year's edition. The books are very helpful here stateside."
Gayle and Larry van Horn, Assistant Editors, in Monitoring Times, United States of America - March 2008: "The 2008 Klingenfuss Shortwave Guide remains a favorite reference aid in the Van Horn DX Cabin. The modern layout for quick information access is easy to use. Whether monitoring a utility or broadcast station, this basic, no frills method of radio reference remains an asset to every listener. - For the serious shortwave utility hunter or broadcast listener, the 2008 Super Frequency List on CD is the ultimate disk database."
Radio User, United Kingdom - February 2008: "For those with a general interest in short wave listening, the 2008 Shortwave Frequency Guide is a must-have reference book. It's about as up-to-date as you can get ... providing an excellent combination of broadcast and utility information in a single volume."
Hans K Hildebrand WA1UFO, United States of America - 10 February 2008: "Guide to Utility Radio Stations ... Your radio guides are awesome!"
Anker Petersen, Chairman of Danish Shortwave Clubs International, in Shortwave News - February 2008: "I prefer the 2008 Shortwave Frequency Guide when I scan the shortwave broadcast bands, because the current schedule and language is available at each frequency. - Comparison: I counted how many essential details were correct for the 25 international and 25 domestic stations randomly heard. The results were Passport to World Band Radio 92 percent, 2008 Shortwave Frequency Guide 97 percent, and World Radio TV Handbook 96 percent. The 2008 Shortwave Frequency Guide is slightly better, because the domestic stations of All India Radio contain the three main languages."
Radio User, United Kingdom - January 2008: "The Klingenfuss 2007/2008 Guide to Utility Radio Stations has remained a best seller for the past 25 years and is an excellent reference publication for the utility enthusiast. There is no other source that compiles such as comprehensive range of information into a single publication. This is all vital data that can save the enthusiast hours of investigation. - The 2008 Shortwave Frequency Guide is a must-have reference book. It's about as up-to-date as you can get. - The 2008 Super Frequency List on CD comes with its own built-in search engine that is remarkably quick and searches on each letter of the search word as you type it. As a result, the answer is usually displayed before you've finished typing!"
Mike Richards G4WNC, Decode editor of Radio User, United Kingdom - December 2007: "... the best known source of printed schedules is the Klingenfuss Guide to Utility Radio Stations. This excellent reference is updated annually and provides one of the best references available to the enthusiast. In addition to the book's detailed coverage of the HF bands, there is a section dedicated to weather fax with frequencies, callsigns and schedules for stations throughout the world."
Hidetoshi Okano, Japan - 5 December 2007: "2007/2008 Guide to Utility Radio Stations ... 2008 Super Frequency List on CD ... 2008 Shortwave Frequency Guide ... Thank you for your wonderful publications. I am satisfied with these ones."
Ken Baird, New Zealand - 13 November 2007: "Shortwave Frequency Guide ... I find it a most useful book to have and appreciate the enormous amount of work that goes into it's preparation."
Mike Richards G4WNC, Decode editor of Radio User, United Kingdom - July 2007: "... the famous Guide to Utility Radio Stations. Joerg Klingenfuss and his contributors go to great lengths to capture as many stations as possible from all over the world. In fact, they deliberately go to out-of-way listening locations so they can operate from noise-free locations to capture the maximum number of stations. The monitoring and capturing process is continuous, which is how they are able to produce such an up-to-date reference book. The Klingenfuss Guide has, rightfully, earned itself a place in the most advanced radio monitoring stations."
Henrik Thiil Nielsen, Denmark - 14 May 2007: "Klingenfuss's two double CDs of Modulation Types recordings are a little pricey but I have found them extremely useful. You can listen to them to get acquainted with the sound of different data modes, you can use them as input for your decoding software (or hardware) in order to test the decoder and improve your own decoding skills. Their advantage for these purposes over 'live' material is that modes and parameters are listed for each recording and the recordings are of high quality. - One of the best sources of information on what to listen to on which frequencies is the Klingenfuss Guide to Utility Radio Stations. - Indispensable reference: Radio Data Code Manual."
Bob Grove W8JHD, Chief Editor, in Monitoring Times, United States of America - March 2007: "2007 Super Frequency List on CD ... This extraordinary CD is the most comprehensive in the world, covering shortwave broadcasting, clandestine and utilities services worldwide - frequencies, call signs, locations, schedules and much more! An extraordinary, up to date, shortwave database on a disk. - 2007 Shortwave Frequency Guide ... an indispensable tool for all listeners to the global, high frequencies spectrum through 26 MHz. This information-packed compendium contains nearly 20,000 listings as well as excellent, informative, background pages on shortwave listening. - For the stalwart shortwave utilities aficionado who needs the ultimate reference for identifying the myriad voice and data signals encountered in the high frequency spectrum, no printed volume outdoes the 2007/2008 Guide to Utility Radio Stations. Fully half of this publication provides superb reference information such as identifying users by call signs, worldwide weather broadcast schedules, data transmissions (including hundreds of screenshots), ... This fine collection for the utilities monitor leaves little to be desired."
Randy Wynn, United States of America - 8 February 2007: "The 2007 Shortwave Frequency Guide is easier to use than the competitors and it is very well put together. It is the best one on the market."

Very comprehensive, up-to-date and accurate and absolutely worth purchasing by the active shortwave listener and DXer!"
Pieter on UDXF, Netherlands - 20 January 2007: "Hi Glenn, let me tell U 1 thing, I was able to try the Wavecom W61LAN and the Code300-32 v3.0. The Wavecom was 80 percent better than the Kaho decoder. It's a lot of money. So, when you have some savings, go for the Wavecom: W61LAN Professional + all updates 9,600 USD."
Daniele Cristaldini, Italy - 16 January 2007: "2007/2008 Guide to Utility Radio Stations ... 2007 Super Frequency List on CD ... 2007 Shortwave Frequency Guide ... wonderful publications. Let me say that your job is superb!"
Allen Fountain, Utility editor of Australian DX News - 7 January 2007: "2007/2008 Guide to Utility Radio Stations ... 2007 Super Frequency List on CD ... I realize only too well what a major task you face in keeping information up to date, and in making the decision of what you actually finally list. You don't just put in something because it is on the Internet."
Radio User, United Kingdom - January 2007: "The Klingenfuss 2007/2008 Guide to Utility Radio Stations has remained a best seller for the past 25 years which is testament to this excellent reference publication. With 9,510 frequencies monitored during 2006 this is the most comprehensive independent reference available for the utility listener ... all vital data that can save the enthusiast hours of investigation. - The 2007 Shortwave Frequency Guide is a valuable reference document.

Anthony Farrugia, Malta - 9 December 2006: "2007/2008 Guide to Utility Radio Stations ... 2007 Super Frequency List on CD ... 2007 Shortwave Frequency Guide ... Keep up the good work! Your publications are the only ones which are really up to date and do not contain obsolete entries."
Hidetoshi Okano, Japan - 1 December 2006: "2007/2008 Guide to Utility Radio Stations ... 2007 Super Frequency List on CD ... 2007 Shortwave Frequency Guide ... Thank you for your wonderful publications. I am satisfied with these ones."
Steven Gardiner, United Kingdom - 5 November 2006: "2005/2006 Guide to Utility Radio Stations ... I use to get the book quite regularly here in the UK as it is the best book available in my opinion for date mode listeners like myself."
Mike Chace, Digital Digest editor of Monitoring Times, United States of America - October 2006: "Kaho vs. WAVECOM ... WAVECOM has better customer support, more modern gear, is generally quick to release new modes."
Mike Richards G4WNC, Decode editor of Radio User, United Kingdom - April 2006: "Radio Data Code Manual ... This remains the most comprehensive reference manual for data signals that is generally available. Whilst there are some excellent reference sources on the Internet, a single publication with such detailed information remains a powerful tool for the data enthusiast. The teleprinter alphabet section not only shows details of the various systems, but is set-out in tabular form so you can quickly spot the key features. For those interested in unknown signals, section 5 provides in-depth analysis of the operation of a wide range of modes and sub-modes. With the help of a few analysis tools and this excellent manual you should be able to classify unknown signals very efficiently."
Defence Special Signals School, Bletchley Wing, Corporal Gary Hamilton, Chicksands, Bedfordshire, United Kingdom - 10 March 2006: "2005/2006 Guide to Utility Radio Stations ... Radio Data Code Manual ... Without the help of your literature over the past couple of months the course I have just completed would have been a lot more difficult."
Gayle and Larry van Horn, Assistant Editors of Monitoring Times, United States of America - March 2006: "2006 Super Frequency List on CD ... If you use a computer in your listening post, this is an extremely useful reference to have running while tuning the HF radio spectrum. We were particularly impressed with its ease of use, and its search and sort capability. Given the bright future of e-book publishing, it is nice to see Klingenfuss support both print and electronic formats for some of his more popular publications. The 2006 Shortwave Frequency Guide and the 2006 Super Frequency List on CD are two of our favorite annual reference publications that we use in our radio listening post. Regardless of what portion of the HF spectrum you prowl, these two publications will provide a lot of listening information at your fingertips. Either or both deserve a place next to your radio."
Mike Richards G4WNC, Decode editor of Radio User, United Kingdom - March 2006: "Radio Data Code Manual ... This is a wonderful reference book that contains a host of otherwise difficult to find information. If you are serious about finding and decoding some of the more advanced systems this manual is pretty much a necessity. Section 4 contains some excellent summaries of the various teleprinter alphabets that you are likely to encounter. These are compared side-by-side, so it's easy to spot and compare the different parameters. These tables are essential if you're attempting any bit analysis work. Section 5 is another gem with a detailed look at all the main systems that you will find on HF. As well as general descriptions of the modes, there are detailed charts explaining the inner workings of both the synchronisation and error correction routines. The illustrations are excellent and convey what is complex information in an easy to digest format. I've just covered the highlights here, but there's lots more information tucked away in this excellent publication."
Bud Peed, United States of America - 5 February 2006: "2005/2006 Guide to Utility Radio Stations ... Radio Data Code Manual ... Have been a great fan of your books for years. They are never discarded, only read over and over! Your books are spot on and a big help in my hobby! Well done."
Anker Petersen, Chairman of Danish Shortwave Clubs International, in Shortwave News - 16 January 2006: "2006 Super Frequency List on CD ... total of 19,100 utility and broadcast entries on SW. This modern tool is very easy to use on a PC using Windows and has excellent search functions for specific frequencies, countries, stations, languages, call signs and times - or any combination thereof! 2006 Shortwave Frequency Guide ... I prefer it when I scan the shortwave broadcast bands, because the current schedule and language is available at each frequency. Very comprehensive, up-to-date and accurate and absolutely worth purchasing!"
Bob Padula, Australia, in Electronic DX Press - January 2006: "2006 Super Frequency List on CD ... Access time for retrieving the data is in milliseconds, and searches may also be made for specific frequencies, countries, abbreviations, languages, callsigns and times. 2006 Shortwave Frequency Guide ... Timely additional information is included about technological developments in HF broadcasting, including digital modulation, and an in-depth introduction to shortwave radio monitoring. Content based on actual monitoring by the author and a team of experts around the world."
Michiel Schaay, Netherlands, 7 January 2006: "2006 Shortwave Frequency Guide and 2006 Super Frequency List on CD ... Congratulations to you and the RRF team, with a very good job!"
Mark T Egan VK2KLJ - 20 June 2005: "2005 Super Frequency List on CD ... Your database software is wonderful and the digital signal CD's great for identifying many signal types."
Anthony Farrugia, Malta - 4 June 2005: "2005/2006 Guide to Utility Radio Stations ... 2005 Shortwave Frequency Guide ... I found both publications up to date and very useful. No other publications provide so much competent information."
Radio Society of Great Britain's Headquarters Staff in RadCom - March 2005: "2005 Shortwave Frequency Guide ... logical and uncluttered layout. It is likely that there will be a resurgence of interest in HF broadcast listening as more DRM broadcasts come on stream, with their promise of near-FM quality reception. The 2005 Shortwave Frequency Guide covers DRM well, with information on receivers and an up to date listing of those DRM broadcasts already available. For those who use their general-coverage receivers to stufy HF propagation, the 2005 Shortwave Frequency Guide will be a Godsend, reducing enormously the time and effort involved in identifying stations which, by the fact that by and large they use the same frequency at the same times each day, can be used as propagation 'beacons'. For those who want to tune in to specific stations, listen to broadcasts in a particular language, or simply wish to explore the shortwave bands in more details, the 2005 Shortwave Frequency Guide is a must."
Bob Margolis, Products and Books Review Editor, on www.wunclub.com - 1 February 2005: "2005/2006 Guide to Utility Radio Stations ... , I always compare it to the previous edition to see what updates have been made ... This shows the extent to which Klingenfuss Publications keeps on top in monitoring the airwaves. That is why the Klingenfuss utility guidebooks are worthy purchases year after year."
Geoffrey V Stocks, United Kingdom - 18 January 2005: "2005 Shortwave Frequency Guide ... to say I am impressed is an understatement. I cannot boast of having fancy equipment just a love for tuning in around the world and your publication is so informative and easy to use."
Jan Nieuwenhuis, Publications editor of Benelux DX Club Bulletin, Netherlands - January 2005: "2004 Shortwave Frequency Guide ... a comprehensive reference ... covers everything you need for serious short-wave listening. Once again a great source of information! - 2005/2006 Guide to Utility Radio Stations ... THE book for shortwave utility listening with an enormous account of accurate information. It's a must have book for the serious utility monitor. - 2005 Super Frequency List on CD ... ... a comprehensive reference dor the shortwave broadcast and utility monitor."
Anker Petersen, Chairman of Danish Shortwave Clubs International, in Shortwave News - January 2005: "I prefer the 2005 Shortwave Frequency Guide when I scan the shortwave broadcast bands, because the current schedule and language is added to the frequency list. Moreover, the 2005 Super Frequency List on CD is unsurpassed with its search capability on a PC: in a split-second you are able to get all entries in either frequency-, station-, country-, language- or time order which is extremely useful for the shortwave listener."
Francisco de las Casas, Spain - 7 January 2005: "2005/2006 Guide to Utility Radio Stations ... 2005 Super Frequency List on CD ... I've been using up to day the 2003 versions and it has been very useful to me. Carry on in this way. My congratulations for your publications."
Mike Richards G4WNC, Decode editor of Shortwave Magazine, United Kingdom - January 2005: "If you are fortunate enough to have the 2005 Super Frequency List on CD there's a country search built-in. This, I've found, is probably the fastest and most efficient way to identify stations by country. If you have just the paper-based version of 2005/2006 Guide to Utility Radio Stations all is not lost as this includes a host of information designed to make life easy for the listener. One chapter that's often missed is the station list. If for example, you're looking for stations in Canada you will find all the stations listed in one place along with call signs and all the current operating frequencies - pretty impressive! This is much more efficient than trawling through a bare frequency list. It's this clever compilation of extensive utility information into a practical format that makes the Klingenfuss guide so valuable."
James D Strader, United States of America - 7 December 2004: "2005/2006 Guide to Utility Radio Stations ... 2005 Super Frequency List on CD ... 2005 Shortwave Frequency Guide ... you are still 'NUMBER ONE' in accuracy and quality."
Aidan Nightingale, United Kingdom - 18 November 2004: "By far the best publication and most informative publication I've found is the Klingenfuss Radio Code Manual. Much of the information in this publication I've yet to see available on the Internet. It's a good primer for anybody interested in the concepts, protocols and modes of communication on the HF spectrum."
Bob Grove W8JHD, Chief Editor, in Monitoring Times, United States of America - March 2004: "2004 Shortwave Frequency Guide ... as with previous editions, it's a gem. Broadcast listeners can instantly narrow down identification of any station among those transmitting on a frequency at a given time. This is a great aid and quick access during a DX session or for a program listener. The alphabetical list of broadcast stations is invaluable when focusing on a particular country to monitor."
Harold Ort N2RLL, Chief Editor of Popular Communications, United States of America - March 2004: "Monitors have come to know and trust the Klingenfuss 2004 Super Frequency List on CD. Among the digital data decoder screenshots are many stations of the International Committee of the Red Cross in the Afghanistan and Iraq war zones."
Richard Olesen, United States of America - 26 March 2003: "I just received the new Radio Data Code Manual. Very informative. Your hard work is reflected in the book. Nice Job. I really like the quality of the page stock. There are a lot of useful references."
Ari Tiiska, Finland - 12 December 2002: "Radio Data Code Manual ... 2003 Guide to Utility Radio Stations ... Thanks once more for your excellent books. This kind of information is very difficult to find elsewhere."
Steve Ford WB8IMY, Managing Editor, in American Radio Relay League QST - August 2001: " If you are tempted to go snooping outside the ham bands with your digital decoder, the Radio Data Code Manual is a vital reference that will make it possible for you to interpret the gibberish you often see on your monitor."
Anker Petersen, Chairman of Danish Shortwave Clubs International, in Shortwave News - February 2003: "I found the following details essential for the DXer during his listening and identification of the transmitter and broadcast: station name, exact language, scheduled broadcast time, exact frequency and transmitter site. For identification purposes, it is necessary that all the essential details are readily available in the handbook. This was found to be the case in 68% of the checks in the WRTH, and 74% in the Shortwave Frequency Guide. The German editor Joerg Klingenfuss and his staff have put a lot of effort to make it as up-to-date as possible and it is slightly more accurate than the WRTH in the details. Its big advantage is that for each SW frequency you can read at what time it is used by various broadcasters and in which language."
Md. Azizul Alam Al-Amin, Bangla Desh - 31 December 2002: "I would like to take the opportunity to show my heartfelt gratitude and thanks for sending your excellent 2003 Shortwave Frequency Guide ... The guide is quite informative and exclusive. I have told to some of my DX-er friends about it ..."
Richard D'Angelo, Executive Director, North American Shortwave Association - 13 December 2002: "2003 Shortwave Frequency Guide... Mailed monday, and arrived today, Thursday ... very fast! ... another excellent edition of this very valuable resource."
Dick Richardson, United Kingdom - 11 December 2002: "2003 Shortwave Frequency Guide ... I have only had the chance to look at it for one hour and already it is my favourite radio handbook - well done. I will see you next year for sure. In the meantime when I can afford it I would also like to get the CD version. Many thanks for a useful book, and prompt service, and one (if not the only one which I have) which already seems to be up to date with its information - IT WORKS."
D Graham Scott, United Kingdom - 14 December 2004: "Having installed the WAVECOM W40PC DSP Digital Data Decoder Card, it appears to be better than my older Hoka C3 Gold (it runs under Windows!). I'm now looking for that "special" signal to decode, but I should probably read some more of the manual first!"
Bob Padula, Australia, in Electronic DX Press - 31 January 2003: "The latest edition of the 2003 Super Frequency List on CD reflects the continuing and ongoing use of this modern medium for presentation of a massive amount of vital and accurate data in support of world HF broadcasting. No complex set-up, installation or configuration is necessary - the disk is inserted into the drive and the data is immediately available. The data is searchable by various methods, and access time is extremely short, in milliseconds. The order and width of the columns can be varied by the user. I called up details of all stations broadcasting in Latin, and their times and frequencies - I was surprised to note two broadcasters in that search - Vatican and Finland. I also asked for data for all stations using the Irkutsk relay - 27 entries were revealed. I found that there is only one station broadcasting in Ladino (Israel), and one in Icelandic (Iceland). Oromo, the language spoken in East Africa, was shown as being used by eight broadcasters, and all necessary data was given. Searching for complete schedules for specific broadcasters is straightforward. DX specialist monitors will find this product to be extremely useful in assisting in station identification, where various search routines may be called up, whether for domestic/international/clandestine broadcasting services or utility. Particularly neat is the "concurrent search" program, which when sued in combination with the incremental search represents a very powerful tool. A search for all broadcasters using the Al Dhabayya relay centre in Abu Dhabi gave us 131 results, in 1 millisecond - that sort of search routine is an excellent example of what can be accomplished with this disk. Program listeners may use the disk to obtain details of an almost infinite number of permutations, such as "all broadcasts in Arabic at 0615 UTC". Many entries will be found for the emerging new technology known as "HF E-mail", claimed to be more cost-efficient than traditional satellite radio systems, with transfer rates of 2.4 kB now commonplace, with a possible 32 kB within reach. I met with Joerg at his home some three years ago when I visited Germany, and was impressed with his dedication and superb attention to detail and topicality of all products and services he offers. This product is a very useful tool for anyone involved in HF broadcasting. I have used the CD for many years as an important adjunct not only in support of my professional work associated with broadcast engineering, but also for my hobby interests in world radio. I would recommend it to anyone with an active interest in all forms of HF radio monitoring."
Mike Richards G4WNC, Decode editor of Shortwave Magazine, United Kingdom - February 2003: "Despite the the rapidly increasing use of the Internet, the 2003 Guide to Utility Radio Stations remains the most usable reference for most listeners. One of the sections I always find particularly useful is the station list. This may not sound that exciting, but the real hidden gem is the way the list is formatted. Rather than listing in station or frequency order, the list is based on countries and then sorted by service. This arrangement really speeds up the search process. For example, if you wanted to find meteorological HF stations in Kenya you just look-up Kenya, then MET and you will find Nairobi Met listed with all its operating frequencies. Another real timesaver is the meteorological radiofax and radiotelex listing."
John Kench G8JTQ, United Kingdom - 16 January 2003: "Have been looking at your website - absolutely magic! Saving up for a WAVECOM!!"
Radio Nederland's Real Radio Booklist Review - 9 January 2003: "2003 Guide to Utility Radio Stations ... If you're interested in the signals between the broadcast bands, this guide is the acknowledged leader. A comprehensive guide to codes and abbreviations used in practice. Published in December, the book has a quick production turn-around time."
Radio Monitoring Station, Station Manager, Greenock, Scotland, United Kingdom - 12 December 2002: "2003 Guide to Utility Radio Stations ... 2003 Super Frequency List on CD ... Thank you again for your wonderful products."
Sheldon Harvey, Canada, in The Radio H.F. Internet Newsletter - September 2002: "Joerg Klingenfuss is one of the world's best known utility radio monitors. For those who monitor two-way utility radio traffic on the HF bands, his publications and CDs are essential reference guides. His material is highly respected, well researched, constantly updated, detailed and precise. Although these reference guides are often more costly than others on the market, they are well worth the investment for the serious radio monitor."
Robert T Combs, United States of America: "I have used your publication since I received it and have it found it to be highly accurate on all of the signals I have received. I have purchased your book many times in the past."
Allen Fountain, Utility editor of Australian DX News - 6 August 2003: "Have downloaded the new software for the WAVECOM W40PC. I have to say that my decision to select the WAVECOM back in February 2001 was correct. I was very pleasantly surprised to find that, in addition to the new modes, there were a number of additional operational features, also a new manual. It was just like getting a new decoder."
Damian P Geiss AC7RG, United States of America - 25 June 2003: "I just wanted to email you and thank you for the outstanding Compact Disc Recordings of Modulation Types. I listened to all four last night and they are absolutely fantastic in quality. A great assistance in my research."
Sergey M. Kolesov, Ukraine - 13 May 2003: "Thank you for prompt delivery of the 2003 Shortwave Frequency Guide and the 2003 Super Frequency List on CD. I have reviewed them and found that they are really reliable source of frequencies of utility stations."
Dave Thorne, Australia - 12 May 2003: "Radio Data Code Manual ... It is very good and right up to date. Thanks very much for your efforts, and I can thoroughly recommend this publication for serious surveillance work."
Bob Grove W8JHD, Chief Editor, in Monitoring Times, United States of America - May 2002: "Radio Data Code Manual ... The age of digital electronics has spawned an incredible array of special languages and cyphers for exchange of communications. Nowhere is this assemblage more visible than on the HF spectrum. Dozens of proprietary systems and algorithms multiply into hundreds of variants heard as beeps and buzzes as the listener tunes through the 1.8-30 MHz spectrum. For the curious, stand-alone decoders and computer software programs abound, but recognition is still a problem - unless you have a comprehensive guide such as the manual from Klingenfuss. A massive 600 pages of illustrated information, the code manual provides an orientation to nearly every data transmission likely to be encountered on the air, along with lists of sources for decoding software and hardware. Massive details are provided for interpreting codes encountered on the airwaves. This comprehensive reference is an outstanding companion for users of the sophisticated WAVECOM decoders."
Richard Olesen, United States of America - 26 March 2003: "I just received the new Radio Data Code Manual. Very informative. Your hard work is reflected in the book. Nice Job. I really like the quality of the page stock. There are a lot of useful references."
Michiel Schaay, Netherlands, 19 March 2003: "Radio Data Code Manual ... is really a goldmine!"
Gayle and Larry van Horn, Assistant Editors of Monitoring Times, United States of America - March 2003: "It is the digital utility station listings that really make the 2003 Guide to Utility Radio Stations stand out. His listing of digital mode stations are exhaustive. No other radio hobby publication has the scope and depth of coverage of digital radio networks as the Klingenfuss publications. - 2003 Shortwave Frequency Guide ... Each year, I add this informative source, along with other DXing publications, as an aid in my personal monitoring sessions. It remains my favourite. Plain and simple ... it is very user-friendly ... This is the only publication that combines shortwave broadcast and utility stations in one volume. I have used Klingenfuss frequency guides for years."
John Kench G8JTQ, United Kingdom - 19 February 2003: "2003 Super Frequency List on CD ... 2003 Shortwave Frequency Guide ... At this early stage I am very impressed with both the book and CD, and confident that they will provide the information when and how I will require it."
Lee Jessup, United Kingdom - 7 February 2003: "2003 Shortwave Frequency Guide ... Being relatively new to the hobby, I was very pleased to note how easy the guide is to use considering how comprehensive it is. Well done to you and all your contributors."
Peter de Vroome PE1DTN, Netherlands - 8 February 2003: "2003 Super Frequency List on CD ... keep on doing your good work!"
Mike Richards G4WNC, Decode editor of Shortwave Magazine, United Kingdom - February 2003: "Despite the the rapidly increasing use of the Internet, the 2003 Guide to Utility Radio Stations remains the most usable reference for most listeners. One of the sections I always find particularly useful is the station list. This may not sound that exciting, but the real hidden gem is the way the list is formatted. Rather listing in station or frequency order, the list is based on countries and then sorted by service. This arrangement really speeds up the search process. For example, if you wanted to find meteorological HF stations in Kenya you just look-up Kenya, then MET and you will find Nairobi Met listed with all its operating frequencies. Another real timesaver is the meotorological radiofax and radiotelex listing. - The 2003 Super Frequency List on CD continues to improve with every edition. This latest version is lightning fast. The most powerful is the word search. Rather than a simple word search orn a single word or phrase, you can build your own very specialized searches to dig out just what you want. This is an incredibly fast and powerful search system that really allows you to make the most of the 10,000+ frequency list."
Anker Petersen, Chairman of Danish Shortwave Clubs International, in Shortwave News - February 2003: "I found the following details essential for the DXer during his listening and identification of the transmitter and broadcast: station name, exact language, scheduled broadcast time, exact frequency and transmitter site. For identification purposes, it is necessary that all the essential details are readily available in the handbook. This was found to be the case in 68% of the checks in the WRTH, and 74% in 2003 Shortwave Frequency Guide. The German editor, Joerg Klingenfuss, and his staff has put a lot of effort to make it as up-to-date as possible and it is slightly more accurate than the WRTH in the details. Its big advantage is that for each shortwave frequency you can read at what time it is used by various broadcasters and in which language."
Bob Padula, Australia, in Electronic DX Press - 31 January 2003: "The latest edition of the 2003 Super Frequency List on CD reflects the continuing and ongoing use of this modern medium for presentation of a massive amount of vital and accurate data in support of world HF broadcasting. No complex set-up, installation or configuration is necessary - the disk is inserted into the drive and the data is immediately available. The data is searchable by various methods, and access time is extremely short, in milliseconds. The order and width of the columns can be varied by the user. I called up details of all stations broadcasting in Latin, and their times and frequencies - I was surprised to note two broadcasters in that search - Vatican and Finland. I also asked for data for all stations using the Irkutsk relay - 27 entries were revealed. I found that there is only one station broadcasting in Ladino (Israel), and one in Icelandic (Iceland). Oromo, the language spoken in East Africa, was shown as being used by eight broadcasters, and all necessary data was given. Searching for complete schedules for specific broadcasters is straightforward. DX specialist monitors will find this product to be extremely useful in assisting in station identification, where various search routines may be called up, whether for domestic/international/clandestine broadcasting services or utility. Particularly neat is the "concurrent search" program, which when sued in combination with the incremental search represents a very powerful tool. A search for all broadcasters using the Al Dhabayya relay centre in Abu Dhabi gave us 131 results, in 1 millisecond - that sort of search routine is an excellent example of what can be accomplished with this disk. Program listeners may use the disk to obtain details of an almost infinite number of permutations, such as "all broadcasts in Arabic at 0615 UTC". Many entries will be found for the emerging new technology known as "HF E-mail", claimed to be more cost-efficient than traditional satellite radio systems, with transfer rates of 2.4 kB now commonplace, with a possible 32 kB within reach. I met with Joerg at his home some three years ago when I visited Germany, and was impressed with his dedication and superb attention to detail and topicality of all products and services he offers. This product is a very useful tool for anyone involved in HF broadcasting. I have used the CD for many years as an important adjunct not only in support of my professional work associated with broadcast engineering, but also for my hobby interests in world radio. I would recommend it to anyone with an active interest in all forms of HF radio monitoring."
Borja Marco, Spain - 29 January 2003: "Radio Data Code Manual ... 2003 Guide to Utility Radio Stations ... 2003 Shortwave Frequency Guide ... Excellent quality books."

John Kench G8JTQ, United Kingdom - 16 January 2003: "Have been looking at your website - absolutely magic! Saving up for a WAVECOM!!"
Kaj Bredahl Jørgensen, Editor-in-chief of Danish Shortwave Clubs International, in Shortwave News, Denmark - 14 January 2003: "2003 Super Frequency List on CD ... 2003 Shortwave Frequency Guide ... you have done again a very good job."
Radio Nederland's Real Radio Booklist Review - 9 January 2003: "2003 Guide to Utility Radio Stations ... If you're interested in the signals between the broadcast bands, this guide is the acknowledged leader. A comprehensive guide to codes and abbreviations used in practice. Published in December, the book has a quick production turn-around time. - 2003 Super Frequency List on CD ... an extremely comprehensive and accurate list ... A powerful concurrent full text word search is included as well. - 2003 Shortwave Frequency Guide ... an extremely comprehensive and accurate list, in frequency order ... also includes over 100 pages of broadcast station schedules by country in alphabetical order. The book has a quick production turn-around time. This book is ideal if you scan the dial methodically and want a book that will help you identify mystery stations. Klingenfuss bases his material on actual monitoring by a worldwide team of over 100 people. Highly recommended. - This review was compiled by the staff of 'Media Network', the English language webzine of Radio Netherlands. The review was done independently of the author and publisher. Radio Netherlands has no financial connection with either and provides the information above in good faith."
Lee Reynolds in Monitoring Times, United States of America - January 2003: "The WAVECOM W40PC DSP Digital Data Decoder is a well-designed and laid-out device. On HF performance was excellent. One item under the heading of "eye candy" that I really liked is the ability to select different palettes for the tool displays - it makes interpreting things like waterfall displays much easier when various attributes are properly colour-coded. As you can tell, I like this device. I liked it well enough to have purchased one some months ago. I have a reasonable wide experience of digital transmission decoding hardware (Hoka, Universal et al) and the Wavecom is my firm favourite, because it offers an excellent compromise between quality, features and cost. If you're in the market for a high-end decoder, I can definitely recommend the Wavecom line of products. Not only are they well designed, they're well supported and Wavecom honestly admit to any problems you may encounter, happily working with you to resolve the matter. Feature set and cost is only half the value here - a manufacturer that acknowledges the hobbyist's existence is the other. One big plus for this device is that software updates are reasonably regular and, importantly, free! Wavecom exhibits a mentality that takes into account the low-end purchaser, not just the corporate/governmental buyer. This compares extremely favourably with a competitor's offering of a 3.5" diskette with the latest software upgrade for their hardware for a mere USD 400. I may be crazy enough to be a digital utility monitor but I'm not crazy enough to pay that kind of money for a merely incremental software upgrade as well!"
Md. Azizul Alam Al-Amin, Bangla Desh - 31 December 2002: "I would like to take the opportunity to show my heartfelt gratitude and thanks for sending your excellent 2003 Shortwave Frequency Guide ... The guide is quite informative and exclusive. I have told to some of my DX-er friends about it ..."

Sheldon Harvey, Canada, in The Radio H.F. Internet Newsletter - September 2002: "Joerg Klingenfuss is one of the world's best known utility radio monitors. For those who monitor two-way utility radio traffic on the HF bands, his publications and CDs are essential reference guides. His material is highly respected, well researched, constantly updated, detailed and precise. Although these reference guides are often more costly than others on the market, they are well worth the investment for the serious radio monitor."
Hans Kulk NL12972, Netherlands - 31 August 2002: "Compact Disc Recording of Modulation Types .. The CD's are of great interest to me personally because at home I'm a radio listener from 40 kHz to 300 MHz. The CD's contain very good samples of all kinds of radiocodings and is indeed very helpful in finding out whats going on."
Robert J Inderbitzen NQ1R, Marketing Coordinator, in American Radio Relay League QST - April 2002: "... details on how to listen in on the newest, most secretive shortwave digital modes including commercial HF e-mail!

I really enjoy your website along with your publications and frequency database."
Kevin Nice G7TZC, Chief Editor of Shortwave Magazine, United Kingdom - January 2002: "WAVECOM W40PC DSP Digital Data Decoder Card ... This decoder represents the leading edge of the shortwave listening hobby. With the W40PC you can intercept and display traffic that originates from systems that utilize very complex engineering to pass information at an ever increasing rate ... for less money than that required to purchase a large wide-screen TV set. If you are serious about data modes, and I do mean serious, then you will need much more than a shareware decoder. I've been using this Wavecom for a good few weeks and there's no doubt it is a joy to operate ... a very lively, rapidly updating spectrum display."
Barry Harding, United Kingdom - 13 December 2001: "My order which you dispatched this Monday arrived on Wednesday. I am very impressed by your fast efficient service.

Kaj Bredahl Jørgensen, Editor-in-chief of Danish Shortwave Clubs International, in Shortwave News, Denmark - January 2002: "2002 Shortwave Frequency Guide ... I find it very easy to use compared with other radio handbooks. This system is just brilliant, when you're searching the bands. When you listen to a certain frequency, then you look at the time you're listening, and then you have the station you're listening to. It can't be more easier. Of all those stations I have been listening to, just a very few errors were found. I can only recommend this unique book strongly."

An excellent system of measurement cursors was built into all the analysis display modes and really made the W41PC an extremely powerful analytical tool. Fax signals ... the W41PC delivers the best balance of performance and features that I've seen in any system. Speed and phase adjustment are so well thoughtout they made fax reception a real dream. Excellent owner's manual ... a very sophisticated decoding and analysis system. You can sense the processing power as soon as you start to use it because all the signal displays are so much more lively than many soundcard based systems."

Harald Kuhl DL1ABJ, Buchbesprechungen editor of Radio-Kurier Weltweit Hören, Germany - February 2013: "Handbuch Funkdienst-Radiostationen 2013/2014 ... Bei der Identifizierung von Funkdienst-Radiostationen hilft seit vielen Jahren der Guide to Utility Radio Stations. Jörg Klingenfuss ist ein international bekannter Spezialist im Bereich Utility-DX und hat schon früh als einer der ersten Herausgeber solcher Frequenzhandbücher seinen Fokus auf die Dokumentation und Analyse von digitalen Betriebsarten gelegt. Diese Buch verschafft einen guten Überblick, welche Digimodes, die den einst auf Kurzwelle dominanten SSB-Sprechfunk oft ersetzt haben, dem vielfältig interessierten Kurzwellenhörer heute begegnen. Dabei betont der Herausgeber, dass er nur tatsächlich als aktiv bestätigte Frequenzen beziehungsweise Stationen in sein Buch aufgenommen hat. Damit vermeidet Klingenfuss längst inaktive 'Karteileichen'. Nach der Frequenzliste folgt ein alphabetisch nach Ländern geordnetes Stationsverzeichnis, das für jede namentlich im Buch erwähnte Station die zugehörigen Frequenzen nennt. Über dieses Verzeichnis ist es also möglich, die jeweiligen Frequenzeinträge einer Utility-Station schnell zu finden. Das ist ein deutlicher Vorteil gegenüber Publikationen anderer Herausgeber, die sich auf eine Frequenzliste beschränken und sich die Arbeit für ein Stationsverzeichnis sparen. Anschauungsmaterial, wie dekodierte Digimode-Übertragungen von Funkdiensten aussehen, liefern 140 Seiten Screenshots. Zum Einsatz kamen hierfür software-definierte Empfänger, wie Perseus SDR, und Dekoder von Wavecom. Als Fazit bleibt festzuhalten, dass der 2013/2014 Guide to Utility Radio Stations einmal mehr die Referenz im Bereich der Utility-Frequenzlisten ist. Wer sich für Digimodes auf Kurzwelle interessiert, hat dieses Buch in ständiger Reichweite zu Empfänger und Dekoder."
Klaus Neupert, Germany - 24 May 2012: "2011/2012 Guide to Utility Radio Stations ... schön, dass es noch einen spezialisierten DX-Verlag gibt."

Hanspeter Graf, Switzerland - 5 April 2012: "2012 USERLIST.TXT for the Perseus LF-HF Software-Defined Receiver ... 2012 Super Frequency List on CD... Gratulation zu den hochwertigen Produkten!"
Harald Kuhl DL1ABJ, Buchbesprechungen editor of Radio-Kurier Weltweit Hören, Germany - February 2012: "2012 Shortwave Frequency Guide ... nach Frequenzen geordnet ... Länderverzeichnis ... Man hat hier also beide Suchoptionen und bekommt jeweils auf einen Blick alle für den Empfang relevanten Informationen ... bauen internationale Hörfunkstationen ihre Sendekapazitäten weiter ab. Dies kritisiert der Herausgeber ganz richtig als kurzsichtig, denn die von früher bekannten Auslandssendern heute gern favorisierte Programmverteilung über örtliche UKW-Frequenzen, per Satellit oder übers Internet ist potenziell der Willkür der Zensoren im Zielgebiet ausgesetzt. Während die Kurzwelle immer einen Weg zum interessierten Hörer findet, geben Auslandssender diese und damit einen Teil der von ihnen selbst propagierten Informationsfreiheit auf. - Wer es noch komfortabler mag und sich individuelle Listen erstellen will, erhält den kompletten Frequenzdatensatz 2012 auf der 2012 Super Frequency List on CD."
Harald Kuhl DL1ABJ, Buchbesprechungen editor of Radio-Kurier Weltweit Hören, Germany - April 2011: "2011 Super Frequency List on CD ... Diese bietet über praktische Suchfunktionen einen noch schnelleren Zugriff auf die gewünschten Informationen, und es lassen sich nach den vielfältigen Kriterien individuelle Senderlisten zusammenstellen."
Alexander Wagner OE3DMA in Österreichischer Versuchssenderverband's QSP - February 2011: "2011/2012 Guide to Utility Radio Stations ... 2011 Shortwave Frequency Guide ... 2011 Super Frequency List on CD ... Beide Bücher sowie die CD sind wieder einmal exzellente Werke aus dem Hause Klingenfuss. Sie sind anwenderfreundlich, übersichtlich und topaktuell. Die Frequenzlisten aus dem Klingenfuss-Verlag genießen sicher nicht grundlos weltweit bei Kurzwellenhörern einen hervorragenden Ruf. Zu erwähnen wäre noch, dass es Kombipreise bei Bestellung mehrerer Publikationen gibt."
Jörg Roller DF9IU, Germany - 20 February 2011: "Ich muss Ihnen einfach mal so schreiben, dass ich den praktischen Nutzen des 2011 Guide to Utility Radio Stations erst so langsam richtig erfasse, und immer mehr schätzen lerne! Ganz besonders gut finde ich die redundanten Informationsquellen - dazu muss man einfach ein bisschen in Ihrer Publikation blättern und sie einfach aktiv nutzen! Im Ergebnis ist diese Publikation einfach unschlagbar!!!!!!!!!!! Nochmals Congratulations zu diesem Standardwerk!"
Christoph Preutenborbeck, Germany - 21 December 2010: "... 2011 Super Frequency List on CD ... habe neulich eine Frequenz Radio Kuwait 13-m-Band mit der Klingenfuss Frequenzen CD herausbekommen; WRTH, S+F und EIBI Liste mussten passen, thanx a lot."

Willi Fühles, Germany - 22 February 2010: "2010 Shortwave Frequency Guide ... Ich war viel im Ausland und habe jetzt als Rentner wieder Zeit zum Radiohören. Bei den beiden anderen da hat die Qualität doch stark nachgelassen, haben die keine Fachleute mehr oder sind die alle schon gestorben? Ihre Bücher waren schon immer sehr genau, die konnte man noch nach Jahren in die Hand nehmen und verwenden."
Harald Kuhl DL1ABJ, Buchbesprechungen editor of Radio-Kurier Weltweit Hören, Germany - February 2010: "2010 Shortwave Frequency Guide ... 2010 Super Frequency List on CD ... Konzentration auf das Wesentliche und eine möglichst effiziente Datenpräsentation sind die beiden Maximen, denen dieses für Wellenjäger empfehlenswerte Werk konsequent folgt."
Christoph Ratzer OE2CRM, Austria - 11 December 2009: "2010 Shortwave Frequency Guide ... 2010 Super Frequency List on CD ... Auch in Salzburg klingelte der Postbote. Für den Redaktionsschluss 20. November eine beachtliche Leistung. Als Beispiel für seine Aktualität ist Klingenfuss wohl der einzige der drei Jahrbücher, welcher den erst im November wieder in Betrieb genommenen Sender von Radio Burkina Faso auf 5030 kHz korrekt auflistet. Dieses Beispiel ist kein Kaufgrund, zeigt aber wie bei Klingenfuss gearbeitet wird. Nicht billig, aber seinen Preis als Referenzbuch mehr als wert."
Christoph Preutenborbeck, Germany - 7 December 2009: "... danke ich Ihnen für die vorzügliche ... 2010 Super Frequency List on CD, mit der wir SWLs wieder optimal arbeiten können auf Grund von UFB Sammelleidenschaft für die Frequenzen."

Jörg Klingenfuß hat nun den Frequenzlistenbestand seines 'Guide to Utility Radio Station' so eingerichtet, dass er unter 'user' im entsprechenden Memory-Fenster des Perseus passend auftaucht. Funktioniert klasse und ist für Utility-DXer eine echte Hilfe!"
Harald Kuhl DL1ABJ, Buchbesprechungen editor of Radio-Kurier Weltweit Hören, Germany - January 2009: "2009/2010 Guide to Utility Radio Stations ... Der Autor hat sich schon früh mit der systematischen Beobachtung digitaler Übertragungsverfahren im Kurzwellenbereich befaßt und ist auf diesem Gebiet ein weltweit bei Amateuren sowie Profis anerkannter Spezialist. Bildschirmfotos dekodierter Funksprüche aus aller Welt erlauben einen Blick in die sonst oft verschlossene Welt der professionellen Funkdienste auf Kurzwelle."
Nils Schiffhauer DK8OK, Radio Editor, Germany, in Radio-Kurier Weltweit Hören - January 2009: "WAVECOM W-CODE ... Die Top-Lösung. Der Code-Knacker der Profis. Besonders spannend sind die phasenmodulierten Signale, hier wiederum das aus der Militärtechnik übernommene Software-Konzept der STANAG-Modems mit ihren Varianten, die viele primär auf den Hobbymarkt fokussierenden Dekoder vor unlösbare Aufgaben stellen. Wo die Fähigkeiten dieser Dekoder wegfaden, übernimmt WAVECOM: die Kombination Perseus/WAVECOM bringt dem Ohr unhörbare STANAG-Signale selbst noch aus Neukaledonien auf den Bildschirm. Die Zusammenarbeit mit einem Software-Defined Radio wie dem PERSEUS ist besonders instruktiv und wegen der digitalen Weitergabe ohne mehrfache Konvertierung hocheffizient. W-CODE erweitert Ohren und Augen des Kurzwellenhörers um absolut professionelle Dekodier- und Analyseinstrumente und damit durch viele neue faszinierende Empfänge. Die Software definiert die oberste Leistungsklasse."
Wolfgang Steuhl in Straubinger Tagblatt - Landshuter Zeitung, Germany - 24 December 2008: "Jahrbuch Sender + Frequenzen ... World Radio TV Handbook ... Passport to World Band Radio ... Shortwave Frequency Guide ... Klingenfuß überzeugt nicht nur damit, dass er die zwischen den offiziellen Rundfunkbändern gelegenen Funkdienste berücksichtigt, sondern auch mit seiner Aktualität sowie mit seiner fast ans Unglaubliche grenzenden Präzision und Zuverlässigkeit, was die Frequenzlisten betrifft. Ja, was tun? Der Verfasser dieser Zeilen würde wohl den Klingenfuß nehmen, will aber die anderen auf gar keinen Fall herabsetzen. Hauptsache, es nützt!"

Christoph Ratzer OE2CRM, Austria - 10 December 2008: "Heute kam hier ein dickes Paket aus Tübingen an: das aktuelle Kurzwellen-Frequenz-Handbuch 2009, die 13. Ausgabe. Redaktionsschluß 20. (!) November 2008 und schon am Stationstisch. Von den Berufskollegen WRTH und S+F 2009 noch weit und breit nichts zu sehen. Das Kurzwellen-Frequenz-Handbuch ist kein Ersatz für die beiden genannten, sondern DIE erstklassige Referenz, wenn es um Frequenzbelegungen sowohl im Broadcast- wie im Utility-Bereich geht. So kompakt und übersichtlich bietet nur Klingenfuß seine Listen an. Nicht billig, aber preiswert, wenn man den Aufwand und die Aktualität sieht. Mehr von mir, wenn ich die 446 Seiten durch habe. Begeisterte Grüße, Christoph."
Christoph Preutenborbeck, Germany - 1 December 2008: "... danke ich Ihnen für die ausgezeichnete Lieferung der wie immer vorzüglichen 2009 Super Frequency List on CD, die absolut korrekt ist, so macht das Hören Freude."
Nils Schiffhauer DK8OK, Radio Editor, Germany, in Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung - 18 November 2008: "WAVECOM W-CODE ... macht selbst einen Laptop zur leistungsstarken Abhörzentrale. Gegenüber billigen oder gar kostenlosen Dekodern aus der und für die Hobbyszene bietet nur das Profipack eine verläßliche Erkennung schwer auseinanderzuhaltender Signale und in jeder Disziplin jenes Mehr an Qualität, das in der Summe zu einer sicheren Mitschrift selbst stark gestörter und mit unbewaffnetem Ohr nicht mehr hörbarer Sender führt."
Alex Wagner OE3DMA in ÖVSV QSP - September 2008: "Radio Data Code Manual ... Dieses Werk beinhaltet massig weiterführende und (wie bei Klingenfuss üblich) exzellent recherchierte Informationen und ist daher ein Muss für den Utility-DXer ... eine Liste mit den 4-stelligen ICAO-Flugplatz-Codes. Diese Liste dürfte, so wie alle anderen Listen und Tabellen in diesem Buch, ziemlich vollständig sein, da sogar der Heli-Port am Krankenhaus in Horn (LOAH) angeführt ist."

Wolfgang Hadel DK2OM, Digital Data Expert of the Intruder Watch of Deutscher Amateur Radio Club (DARC), in Funkamateur July 2007: "Der WAVECOM-Classifier erfaßt die Parameter des Systems in Sekundenschnelle. WAVECOM-Dekoder sind nicht billig, aber in dieser Preisklasse unschlagbar. Deshalb gehören sie zur Grundausrüstung vieler militärischer und ziviler Dienststellen. Mein alter Kaho-Dekoder hat ausgedient."
Nils Schiffhauer ex DK8OK, ex editor of ex Funk, Germany, in Funktelegramm - March 2007: "Information fördert DX-Erfolge. Eine immer unverzichtbare Handreichung bietet Jörg Klingenfuß mit seinem 2007/2008 Guide to Utility Radio Stations, der seit Jahren vom Monitoring-Tisch nicht wegzudenken ist."
Christoph Ratzer OE2CRM, Austria - January 2007: "Shortwave Frequency Guide ... Ausgezeichnete Fachartikel ... besonders ausführlich wird sich zukünftigen digitalen Übertragungsverfahren gewidmet ... in seiner Genauigkeit und Ausführlichkeit unerreicht. Es gibt in Papierform kein besseres und aktuelleres Nachschlagewerk für Kurzwellenhörer. Zusätzlich sind die Informationen des Buches auch auf CD erhältlich."
Wolfgang Büschel DF5SX, Germany - 11 December 2006: "2007 Super Frequency List on CD ... 2007 Shortwave Frequency Guide ... Wie immer: sehr, sehr willkommen und eine prägende Landmarke im Ablauf des Jahres."
Uli Bihlmayer DJ9KR, President of the Monitoring Service of Deutscher Amateur-Radio-Club, in cq-DL, Germany - February 2006: "Durch den Einsatz modernster Nachrichtencomputer vor allem der Schweizer Firma WAVECOM ist die Bandwacht des DARC heutzutage führend, die verschiedenen Übertragungsmodi digitaler Aussendungen kommerzieller und militärischer Anwender zu bestimmen und teilweise auch zu entschlüsseln."

Fritz Nusser, Switzerland - 16 January 2006: "Radio Data Code Manual ... 2006 Super Frequency List on CD ... Besten Dank für die gleichbleibend hohe Qualität Ihrer Produkte."
Claus Dietrich, Germany - 21 December 2005: "Ich besitze die zwölfte Ausgabe des Radioteletype Code Manual und arbeite an einer Erweiterung meiner Fernschreib-(Message Handling-) Software Ticker für die Koreanische Marine. Ihr Buch stellt für meine Arbeit eine großartige Hilfe dar."
Funk, Germany - February 2005: "2005/2006 Guide to Utility Radio Stations ... Funkamateure und Hörfunkstationen nutzen nur einen kleinen Teil der Kurzwelle, der große Rest ist den kommerziellen Funkdiensten vorbehalten: Flugzeuge, Schiffe, Botschaften, Militär. Und die machen davon weiterhin regen Gebrauch, wie ein Blick ins Buch beweist. Der Autor ist Spezialist für den Empfang von Funkdienststationen mit dem Schwerpunkt auf den digitalen Betriebsarten."
Christoph Ratzer OE2CRM, Austria, January 2005: "Shortwave Frequency Guide ... Ausgezeichnete Fachartikel ... in seiner Genauigkeit und Ausführlichkeit unerreicht.

Harald Kuhl DL1ABJ, Buchbesprechungen editor of Radio-Kurier Weltweit Hören, Germany - January 2005: "2005 Super Frequency List on CD ... Die intelligente Lesesoftware erlaubt es, sich im Handumdrehen beliebige Sendepläne zusammenzustellen und auf den Bildschirm zu holen. Man ist nicht mehr auf das starr vorgegebene Format in Büchern festgelegt und kann sich zum Beispiel eine Liste aller derzeit in einer bestimmten Sprache laufenden Sendungen heraussuchen lassen. Vor allem wer während der Senderjagd den Computer ohnehin einsetzt, um vielleicht Ausbreitungsprognosen zu erstellen, den Empfänger zu steuern oder sich den Verlauf von Hell-Dunkel-Zonen darstellen zu lassen, wird auch auf die 'Klingenfuß-CD' bald nicht mehr verzichten wollen."
Josef Garcia, Germany - 15 December 2004: "Vielen Dank für die 2005 Super Frequency List on CD. Einfach FANTASTISCH!!!!!!!"
Josef Garcia, Germany - 17 September 2004: "2004 Super Frequency List on CD ... zu Ihrer tollen CD hatte ich ein schönes Ahhhha-Erlebnis mitbekommen. Als ich vor einigen Monaten einen Hobby-Kollegen besuchte, suchte er in einem großen Stapel Frequenzlisten den ALE-Call 'ADW'. Als er nach fieberhafter Suche entnervt aufgab, lud ich ihn zu mir nach Hause ein, und führte Ihre CD vor. Er war ganz von den Socken, wie schnell ich die Station finden konnte. Er hat sofort eine CD bestellt."
Nils Schiffhauer in FAZ - 14 September 2004: "Schon wenige Watt Sendeleistung und eine unauffällige Antenne reichen, um mit Computerunterstützung zuverlässig digitale Verbindungen zwischen Kontinenten herzustellen. Nach einer Anfangsinvestition von wenigen 1000 Euro und bei Energiebedarf, der aus einer Solarbatterie gedeckt werden kann, sind keine weiteren Gebühren zu entrichten. Die Kurzwelle ist kostenlos. Und sie ist bequem geworden. Wenn früher ein Fachmann die je nach Tages- und Jahreszeit sowie zu überbrückender Entfernung passenden Frequenzen mühevoll zu kalkulieren hatte, so übernimmt heute Software diesen automatischen Verbindungsaufbau. ALE wie Automatic Link Establishment nennt man das. Eine zu Empfangsversuchen anregende Übersicht bietet die Frequenzliste "2004 Guide to Utility Radio Stations" des Tübinger Experten Jörg Klingenfuß mit ihren 1700 Stationen auf 10200 Frequenzen. Bei dieser Lektüre wächst der Appetit über die Leistungsfähigkeit der SkySweep-Software hinaus, weil Delikatessen wie das Rote Kreuz im afghanischen Mazar-i-Sharif oder ein Al-Qaida-Sender auf 20597,3 Kilohertz aus dem pakistanischen Faisalabad nur mit teuren Hardware-Decodern wie dem W51PC des Schweizer Spezialisten WAVECOM mitzulesen sind."
Dr.-Ing. Werner Hegewald DL2RD, Chief Editor of Funkamateur, Germany - July 2004: "2004 Guide to Utility Radio Stations ... Digitale Funksignale haben auf Kurzwelle derart inflationär zugenommen, dass der gelegentliche Funkdienst-DXer schnell den Überblick verliert. Ordnung ins Sendegeschehen professioneller Kurzwellen-Funker bringt seit Jahren Jörg Klingenfuß. Zahlreiche Screenshots vermitteln einen Eindruck von der Leistung eines guten Dekoders."
Horst Garbe DK3GV in Radio-Scanner, Germany - June 2004: "Die gute alte Kurzwelle hat auch im Zeitalter der modernen Satellitenkommunikation noch lange nicht ausgedient. Fernschreib-und Datensignale zu empfangen ist nicht schwer. Entsprechende Dekoder in verschiedenen Preiskategorien oder entsprechende Computerprogramme machen es möglich. Und dann? Dann stehen meist unverständliche Dinge auf dem Bildschirm! Daß dies aber nicht unbedingt eine Textverschlüsselung sein muß, das verrät uns unter anderem das Radio Data Code Manual. Auf 600 Seiten (!) wird der ernsthaft Interessierte an Fernschreib- und Datenübertragungen in die Geheimnisse dieser äußerst interessanten Übertragungsarten eingeweiht. Dabei schafft es Jörg Klingenfuß, über das normale Maß hinaus 'Unmengen' Betriebsarten bis ins Detail zu beleuchten. Und das im wahrsten Sinne des Wortes, wird doch anhand zahlreicher 'Screenshots' gezeigt, wie ein Signal zunächst analysiert und dann dekodiert wird. Unter anderem werden Multiplexverfahren sowie ARQ- und FEC-Fehlerkorrektursysteme erklärt. Sogar die für Europäer so exotischen Zeichen arabischer oder chinesischer Schriftzeichen in der Fernschreibübertragung werden erschöpfend erklärt. Selbst erfahrene Fernschreib- und Datenfunker werden erstaunt sein, wie viele unterschiedliche Übertragungsverfahren es gibt. Weitere Kapitel widmen sich den Flugdatenfunkübertragungen sowie meteorologischen Aussendungen. Die gerade hier häufig verwendeten Buchstabenkodierungen werden ihres Geheimnisses beraubt. Endlich weiß der Empfänger, was das Buchstabengewirr auf seinem Monitor bedeutet und welche Station er empfangen hat! Besonders spannend wird es noch einmal zum Schluß des Buches, wenn der Autor sich den Verschlüsselungsverfahren der Geheimdienste widmet. Das Radio Data Code Manual ist ein faszinierendes Buch für eine ebenso faszinierendeVariante des Kurzwellen- und UKW-Empfangs. Es wendet sich eindeutig an den Spezialisten des Empfangs drahtloser Fernschreib-und Datenübertragungen. Gerade bei diesen Spezialisten darf dieses Buch nicht fehlen, will man auf genanntem Gebiet einen erfolgreichen Empfang ohne Enttäuschungen erleben."
Funk, Germany - March 2004: "Seit ihrer Einführung vor zehn Jahren ist die Super-Frequenzliste von Klingenfuß die einzige CD-ROM geblieben, die die neuesten Sendpläne ... präsentiert."
Matthias Zweigert, Cameroon - 7 January 2004: "2004 Super Frequency List on CD ... ist wirklich super und im Gegensatz zu Ihren früheren "Wälzern" enorm anwendungsfreundlich. Meinen besten Glückwunsch zu diesem Werk!"
Harald Kuhl DL1ABJ, Buchbesprechungen editor of Radio-Kurier Weltweit Hören, Germany - 15 April 2003: "Die Firma WAVECOM hat unter den Dekodern digitaler Übertragungssysteme einen vergleichbar legendären Ruf wie Rohde + Schwarz bei der Sende- und Empfangstechnik: es gibt kaum etwa besseres. Mehr als 110 Systeme kann ein WAVECOM-Dekoder mittlerweile erkennen und auf den Bildschirm bringen. Regelmäßige Updates werden von WAVECOM kostenlos zur Verfügung gestellt, so dass das System im Laufe der Zeit immer leistungsfähiger wird."
Harald Kuhl DL1ABJ, Buchbesprechungen editor of Radio-Kurier Weltweit Hören, Germany - 15 February 2003: "2003 Shortwave Frequency Guide ... hat gegenüber anderen Frequenzwerken den Vorteil, dass es sich nicht auf die Darstellung von Empfangsmöglichkeiten in einer bestimmten Region der Erde konzentriert. Die Darstellung der Daten ist zwar betont nüchtern gestattet, doch dafür angenehm umfassend und komplett."
Nils Schiffhauer DK8OK, editor of Funk, Germany - February 2003: "Seit beinahe undenklichen Zeiten bringt der Welt- und Wellenreisende Jörg Klingenfuß seinen jährlichen 2003 Guide to Utility Radio Stations unter die Leute. Der Meister hatte wieder einmal recht, wenn er einen steigenden Anteil privater Funkdienste, Militärfunk und die Kurzwelle als kostenlosen E-Mail-Ersatz prophezeite. Der 2003er-Jahrgang dokumentiert den Wahrheitsgehalt von Jörgs fundierten Vorhersagen auf eindrucksvolle Weise. 34 Jahre Erfahrung fließen auch in der 21. Auflage des Guide to Utility Radio Stations zusammen. Jörg weiß bei jedem Detail, von was er redet. Auch sein 2003er-Guide ist wiederum unverzichtbar für jeden, dessen HF-Horizont nicht beim Bayerischen Rundfunk endet. Er sollte zudem Pflichtlektüre für jeden Funkamateur sein, der daran sehen kann, wie dank neuer digitaler Betriebsarten der Äther brennt wie selten zuvor."
Stefan Dombrowski, Germany - 7 December 2002: "2003 Guide to Utility Radio Stations ... 2003 Super Frequency List on CD ... 2003 Shortwave Frequency Guide ... Die Publikationen sind immer ufb Qualität, freue mich schon auf die neuen Ausgaben."
Josef Garcia, Germany - 3 December 2002: "Vielen Dank für das hervorragende Guide to Utility Radio Stations 2003. Ich kann nur eins dazu sagen: "Das Telefonbuch für die Kurzwelle"."
Dr.-Ing. Werner Hegewald DL2RD, Chief Editor of Funkamateur, Germany - February 2002: "2002 Guide to Utility Radio Stations ... Der Kurzwellenfunkverkehr ist für den ambitionierten Beobachter spannender denn je geworden. Dies ist mit erheblichem Wildwuchs in bezug auf Frequenznutzung, Rufzeichengebrauch etc. verbunden - für den Herausgeber und sein Team eine gewaltige Herausforderung, stützt sich doch das vorliegende Werk ausschließlich auf akribisch zusammengestellte reale Beobachtungen und nicht auf im Internet in Hülle und Fülle zu findende Halbwahrheiten zweifelhafter Natur."
Wilfried Melchior, Germany - 18 December 2001: "Die Auflistungen mit den Zeiten sind wunderbar übersichtlich. Bei der Aktualität und Übersichtlichkeit kann ich in Zukunft beruhigt auf andere Werke verzichten. Besonders imponieren mir die Sendezeiten innerhalb der Frequenzliste und dass dort auch ausreichend Platz für Notizen vorhanden ist, um gegebenenfalls aktuelle Veränderungen zu vermerken - das reicht, bis man mit Spannung wieder die neue Ausgabe erwartet."
Nils Schiffhauer DK8OK, editor of Funk, Germany - February 2002: "In gewohnter Qualität liegen die drei Neuauflagen für 2002 bereit für alle, die auch in diesem Jahr wieder mehr hören wollen als andere. Das Kurzwellen-Frequenz-Handbuch besticht durch Übersichtlichkeit und Anwenderfreundlichkeit."
Harald Kuhl DL1ABJ, Buchbesprechungen editor of Radio-Kurier Weltweit Hören, Germany - 15 January 2002: "2002 Guide to Utility Radio Stations ... Der traditionelle Schwerpunkt des Autors auf den digitalen Betriebsarten ist erneut unverkennbar ... Informationen über Frequenzen mit digitalen Aussendungen, die man sonst in keiner Frequenzliste findet."
Rainer Gnirke, Germany - 16 December 2001: "So eine superschnelle Lieferung habe ich nicht erwartet. Vielen Dank. Es sind wieder sehr gute Ausgaben, ich bin begeistert."
Michael Wöste, editor of Scanner Praxis, Germany - September 2001: "Das Standardwerk für die Kurzwelle ist der 2001 Shortwave Frequency Guide ..."
Nils Schiffhauer DK8OK, editor of Funk, Germany - September 2001: "WAVECOM W40PC DSP Digital Data Decoder Card ... Für die professionelle Analyse und Mitschrift ist nach wie vor ein Hardware-Dekoder notwendig, der die optimalen Bandbreiten und den perfekten Signal/Rausch-Abstand verwirklicht. Außerdem ist trotz vieler Soundcard-Ansätze damit nur ein Bruchteil der mit der W40PC-Karte mitzulesenden Sendungen dekodierbar. Und manches kann eine Soundcard eben gar nicht leisten. Wer eine zeitgemäße und professionelle Dekodier-Möglichkeit sucht, für den ist die W40PC-Karte eine sowohl kompromißlose als auch noch bezahlbare Lösung."
Josef Garcia, Germany - 18 June 2001: "Ein großes Kompliment für ... 2001 Guide to Utility Radio Stations. Super gemacht und hoch aktuell!"

An erster Stelle der Prioritäten bei der Zusammenstellung standen ganz offensichtlich Effektivität und Exaktheit der Datenpräsentation. Als Arbeitsgrundlage neben dem Empfänger ist der 2001 Shortwave Frequency Guide wie schon in den Vorjahren empfehlenswert. - 2001 Super Frequency List on CD ... ein unentbehrliches Hilfsmittel für den aktiven Kurzwellenhörer mit PC. "
Gregor Behr, Germany - 9 August 2000: "Radio Data Code Manual ... Vor lauter Freude (weil lange gesucht...) muß ich doch mal eben ein dickes Lob aussprechen ! Zum einen für die zügige Lieferung des Buches ... zum anderen wegen des Buches selbst. Eine solche Fülle an Daten, dazu noch übersichtlich strukturiert, habe ich vorher noch nicht gesehen ! Klasse !"
Dr.-Ing. Werner Hegewald DL2RD, Book Review editor of Funkamateur, Germany - February 2000: "2000 Guide to Utility Radio Stations ... Hunderte faszinierende Bildschirmfotos dekodierter Empfangsdaten lockern die exzellent aufbereitete tabellarische Zusammenstellung in willkommener Weise auf.

Jan Zwarteveen, Netherlands - 28 March 2000: "Ab 1963 habe ich jedes Jahr das WRTV-Handbook gekauft. Dieses Jahr zum ersten Mal also Ihr SW Frequency Guide. Dieses Buch gefällt mir sehr gut, ich finde alles sehr deutlich."

Manfred Lamß DL3FQ, Media editor of Deutscher Amateur-Radio-Club, in cq-DL February 2000: "1999/2000 Guide to Worldwide Weather Services ... Das grüne Handbuch ist dem Hobbysegler, Funkamateur oder Kurzwellenhörer ein wertvoller Helfer."
Erwin Fohrmann, Germany - 19 January 2000: "2000 Shortwave Frequency Guide ... Ich bin schlichtweg begeistert. Vom Konzept her ein 100%-anwenderfreundliches Buch. Vielen Dank für diese hervorragende Arbeit. Seit 1978 beziehe ich jetzt das WRTH ... Ich war jedenfalls so enttäuscht und sauer, dass ich zum ersten Mal auf das WRTH verzichte: ich habe es dem Lieferanten zurückgeschickt."
Harald Kuhl DL1ABJ, Buchbesprechungen editor of Radio-Kurier Weltweit Hören, Germany - January 2000: "2000 Shortwave Frequency Guide ... 2000 Super Frequency List on CD-ROM ... Ein Großteil der Ende Oktober erfolgten Frequenzänderungen konnte in den beiden Veröffentlichungen bereits berücksichtigt werden. Als reines Nachschlagewerk für Kurzwellensender stellt der neue Shortwave Frequency Guide bis zum nächsten Frequenzwechsel erneut die aktuellste Quelle dar, die dem aktiven Welthörer derzeit zur Verfügung steht. - Wer in der Nähe des Empfängers einen Computer betreibt, wird sich für die Ausgabe 2000 der CD-ROM Super Frequency List begeistern. Denn durch die zahlreichen Sortiermöglichkeiten, die diese Form der Datenpräsentation bietet, kann man sich schnell die gerade benötigte Stationsliste zusammenstellen oder nach bestimmten Stationen, Programmsprachen, Zielgebieten etc. suchen lassen."
Hartmut Brodien in Radio-Scanner, Germany - February 1999: "Seit vielen Jahren sind die Bücher und Produkte rund ums Empfangshobby, die der Klingenfuß-Verlag in Tübingen herausgibt, ein Begriff für jeden ernsthaften DXer, egal, ob er sich mit Rundfunk- oder Utility-Fernempfang beschäftigt. 1999 Super Frequency List on CD-ROM ... 11000 Datensätze können in einer offenen DBF-Datei zum Finden der Frequenz und gleichzeitig zur Fernsteuerung des Empfängers genutzt werden.

Alessandro Bertoglio in Associazione Radioamatori Italiani's Radio Rivista, Italy - March 2018: "Non si offendano i BCL, essendo una questione di gusti personali, ma dopo una decina di anni d'ascolto delle stazioni BC ero veramente annoiato di ascoltare annunci pubblicitari, trasmissioni politiche o sportive in lingue che conoscevo poco ... Fu così che approdai nel mondo delle Utility, sconosciuto, intrigante, quasi, potrei dire, misterioso. Fu l'incontro con le pubblicazioni del Klingenfuss ad aprirci gli occhi: migliaia di stazioni, molto differenti dalle broadcasting, sparse su tutto il globo e tanti modi e protocolli di trasmissione. Un vero universo da esplorare!"

La guida ha una versione digitale in formato CD che è la 2017 Super Frequency List ... Dello stesso autore c'è la preziosa 2017/2018 Guide to Utility Radio Stations ... Accurata guida che presenta in 550 pagine un completo database delle stazioni utility internazionali.

A Klingenfuss ... dobbiamo un ringraziamento perchè da 20 anni non ci fa mancare questa panoramica aggiornata di frequenze mondiali BC da tutto il mondo in circa 400 pagine. La stessa SWFG esce anche in versione CD con il titolo 2016 Super Frequency List aggiornatissima e di facile gestione da computer. Attraverso una utility interna offre la possibilità di una comoda ricerca di stazioni e frequenze aggiornate, grazie all'impostazione dei parametri di lingua e Paese. Per gli amanti del radioascolto utility è targata la famosa 2015/2016 Guide to Utility Radio Stations che, ogni due anni in 550 pagine, offre una panoramica aggiornata del mondo delle Utility."

Il tuo libro per me e come 'la bibbia del radioascolto', mai un errore, sempre informazioni corrette. Ma come fai? Sei il punto di riferimento a livello mondiale. Continua così!"
Daniele Taliani IV3TDM in Associazione Radioamatori Italiani's Radio Rivista, Italy - March 2008: "L'attività di Joerg, iniziata nel 1970, con i suoi 39 anni di esperienza può senz'altro essere collocata al vertice, sia per la mole di dati che per l'assoluta affidabilità di quanto riportato. Se è vero che le frequenze, come le donne, sono variabili 'come piume al vento', è altrettanto vero che quelle indicate da Klingenfuss sono quanto di più aggiornato l'attuale bibliografia metta a disposizione. 2007/2008 Guide to Utility Radio Stations ... Quando tanti anni addietro mi ci dedicavo anch'io (stante il fatto che non ero nelle condizioni di antenna tali da poter trasmettere), mi sono trovato a sentire la necessità di una guida che mi facilitasse il compito di ricerca e devo dire che fin da quei tempi (parlo dell'inizio anni 80), ho trovato in Klingenfuss un preciso riferimento, pieno di dati tecnici, di consigli e di 'trucchetti' che mi hanno portato ad appassionarmi sempre più, contrariamente ad alcuni amici che dopo numerosi quanto infruttuosi tentativi 'fai da te', hanno preferito dedicarsi ad altro. 2008 Super Frequency List on CD ... Lo stesso CD, oltre a numerosissime informazioni tutte volte ad ampliare la cultura dell'SWL, propone anche una serie di alcune centinaia di screenshot utili a dare immediatamente l'idea di cosa si possa ascoltare ancora oggi, nel meraviglioso ed infinito spazio delle onde corte. Radio Data Code Manual ... Un manuale divenuto ormai standard di riferimento internazionale sia per l'SWL che per i servizi di radio monitoring professionali. Chi volesse avventurarsi in questo fantastico mondo, potrà trovare in Klingenfuss una vera miniera di informazioni ed un prezioso alleato, con una esperienza che si colloca certamente ai vertici a livello mondiale e che non disdegnerà di fornire tutte le informazioni utili ad ognuno per cominciare col piede giusto o per proseguire con sicurezza."
Antonio Sorrentino I8SWZ, Italy - 22 March 2008: "Klingenfuss Publications e Klingenfuss Radio Monitoring possono essere considerati come l'enciclopedia del radioascolto realizzata da Joerg Klingenfuss che in circa 40 anni ha messo insieme e catalogato un'enorme mole di dati utili e nello stesso tempo affidabili e sempre aggiornati."
Andrea Lawendel, Italy - 11 December 2007: "L'esperto tedesco è una autorità internazionale in materia e da anni sostiene che la radio è un mezzo tutt'altro che obsoleto quando si tratta di comunicazioni civili e militari in situazioni estreme o di emergenza."
Paolo Valfré I1VPJ, Italy - 23 December 2006: "2007/2008 Guide to Utility Radio Stations ... 2007 Super Frequency List on CD ... Ancora complimenti per il suo lavoro e per i suoi prodotti, precisi ed impeccabili e completi anche di commenti puntuali e sagaci!"

Massimo Petrantoni in Confidential Radio Secret 2 - I Misteri delle Etere, Italy, March 2005: "2005/2006 Guide to Utility Radio Stations ... una attività di monitoraggio professionale che viene condotta in maniera scientifica. Le stazioni elencate in tale famosa guida sono realmente esistenti ed effetivamente monitorate a differenza di pubblicazioni analoghe ove sono riportate frequenze inattive da tempo e obsolete. In realtà il sistema di gestione del log adottato da Joerg elimina automaticamente quelle frequenze che non risultino attive da 15 mesi, ragion per cui i dati che esso fornisce sono notevolmente aggiornati e veritieri ... la guida più valida e più scientifica per potere districarsi all'interno delle gamme HF. Sono riportate esclusivamente stazioni con codici realmente decodificabili e sincronizzabili con i decoder professionali WAVECOM."
Fabrizio Magrone, Italy on it.hobby.radioascolto - 4 September 2004: "Dal mio punto di vista, con diversi anni di ascolto alle spalle, la lista di prima scelta per chi deve acquistare il primo libro e la Klingenfuss, perche contiene numerose informazioni addizionali che non si trovano in altre liste."

Mario Ambrosi I2MQP, Vice President of Assoziacione Radioamatori Italiani, in Radio Rivista - February 2000: "2000 Shortwave Frequency Guide ... Il libro è, senza dubbio, il migliore ausilio per gli ascoltatori di onde corte. Ma permettetami di dirlo che è anche un utilissimo aiutante per il DXer serio, por gli appassionati di propagazione e i radioamatori che si sforzano di fare al meglio de loro attività."
Andrea Borgnino, Shortwave Radio editor of Radiotelevisione Italiana, Rome, Italy - 29 January 1999: " Guide to Utility Radio Stations ...

Thieu Mandos PA0M - NL199, NL-Post editor of VERON, in Electron, Netherlands - January 2023: "Naast de tijdschriften zijn er de boeken van Klingenfuss die als naslagwerk naast mijn ontvanger liggen www.klingenfuss.org . Deze boeken bevatten wel een paar hoofdstukken die interessant en leerzaam zijn om te lezen, maar het grootste deel van deze boeken bestaat uit frequentielijsten, schema's en tabellen die als naslagwerk dienen. - 2023/2024 Guide to Utility Radio Stations ... Met 550 pagina's is de utility guide weer helemaal actueel beschikbaar als de 2023/2024 editie die ook nog eens up-to-date gehouden wordt door tussentijdse on-line aanvullingen. Wat ooit begon als een lijst met radio teletype stations is uitgegroeid tot een standaard werk dat je de weg wijst in het doolhof van professionele gebruikers van de korte golf. Of je nu over de korte golf draait en een duister signaal probeert te identificeren of je probeert een station uit de lijst terug te vinden op je ontvanger, het is alsof je een spannend boek leest. - Niet alle signalen zijn op jouw antenne of ontvanger te nemen, maar we hebben tegenwoordig een geweldig netwerk aan software ontvangers, SDR's, beschikbaar via internet. Zo wordt het netwerk met KiwiSDR's intensief gebruikt voor het verzamelen van informatie voor de Utility guide. Een aantal vrij toegankelijke KiwiSDR's zijn te vinden via www.kiwisdr.com/public . Een van de bijzonder leuke mogelijkheden van het netwerk met KiwiSDR's is dat door nauwkeurige timing en koppelingen via internet locatie peilingen mogelijk zijn. Er zijn nog diverse andere netwerken met SDR's beschikbaar die alle een leuke aanvulling op je eigen ontvanger geven. Zo komen signalen vanuit de hele wereld je shack binnen, ook al heb je last van lokale storing of zijn je ontvangst mogelijkheden beperkt. Een heel ander leuk aspect van luisteren naar SDR ontvangers in een ander werelddeel is dat je met heel andere condities te maken hebt. Tijdverschil, schemerzone, zomer-winter condities, het kan daar allemaal anders zijn dan hier lokaal. - Dat brengt me ook bij het onderwerp decoder. Er zijn voor de door amateurs gebruikte modulaties diverse decoders te downloaden op internet. Zelf gebruik ik vooral WSJT-X en FLDIGI, maar voor decodering van de grote variatie aan signalen die de professionele gebruikers uitzenden is meer nodig. De Utility guide beschrijft enkele decoders gebruikt voor het samenstellen van het boek en laat ook heel wat schermafbeeldingen zien van de resultaten. De signalen kun je natuurlijk ook identificeren door de frequentie op te zoeken in de Utility guide, al moet je dan soms nog kiezen uit een aantal stations die dezelfde frequentie delen. - De Utility guide bestaat voor de helft uit een frequentielijst met meer dan 9000 vermeldingen van frequentie, call, stationsnaam en locatie en modulatie. In veel gevallen staat er ook tijdstip van activiteit bij. In de andere hoofdstukken worden per land de stations geordend en worden diverse codes en afkortingen verklaard die je in de lijst en berichten tegen kunt komen. Er is ook een uitgebreide verzameling schermafdrukken opgenomen die tonen wat je zoal kun verwachten van bepaalde station, frequenties en modulaties. Al met al is de Guide to Utility Radio Stations een interessant boek dat een uitstekende gids is bij het identificeren van de signalen van professionele gebruikers van de korte golf. - 2023 Shortwave Frequency Guide ... Wie geïnteresseerd is in de kortgolf omroepstations èn de utilitystations vindt deze informatie in de compacte 350 pagina dikke SW-frequency guide. Ook dit boek begint met een uitleg van de achtergronden die gebruikt zijn bij het monitoren, identificeren en samenstellen van het boek. De frequentielijst met utilitystations in dit boek is wat compacter van opzet door gebruik van kleinere letters, maar bevat vrijwel evenveel stations. Er is ook een uitgebreide frequentielijst met meer dan 4000 vermeldingen van omroepstations in dat zelfde compacte lettertype. De vermeldingen bestaan uit frequentie, stationsnaam, locatie van uitzenden, begin- en eindtijd van uitzending, taal en gebied waar de uitzending op gericht is. Er is ook een lijst met een samenvatting van de stations per land. Op de kortegolf zijn er ook nog stations in Nederland, al komen de namen mij niet erg bekend voor. De informatie over de stations is vrij summier, voldoende om een stations te identificeren of een gewenste uitzending op te zoeken. Dit boek verschijnt elk jaar, terwijl de Utility Guide om de 2 jaar wordt uitgegeven. - Wie nog meer wil moet zeker eens kijken naar de Super Frequency List on CD. Dat vereis wel een PC met CD drive bij je ontvanger, maar als je signalen wil decoderen is dat toch al een logische combinatie. Op deze CD vind je de stations uit de Utility Guide èn de omroepstations uit de Shortwave Frequency Guide op een manier geordend dat je er in kunt zoeken en selecties zichtbaar kunt maken. Zo kun je eenvoudig alle stations tevoorschijn halen die DRM uitzendingen doen of in een bepaalde taal uitzenden. Professionele radiostations krijgen vaak een aantal frequenties toegewezen, die ze niet allemaal gelijktijdig gebruiken. Afhankelijk van de veranderende condities en seizoenen maken ze een keuze. Zo kan het gebeuren dat ze jaren een frequentie niet gebruiken en nu bij de betere condities daar weer naartoe verhuizen. Daar is de database met vroeger gebruikte frequenties bijzonder nuttig voor. Die database met ruimt 24000 vermeldingen staat ook op de CD. - De uitgever wil een goede kwaliteit behouden voor zijn Utility guide en SW frequency guide. Als een station niet meer gesignaleerd wordt op de frequentie van afgelopen jaar, dan verhuist de vermelding naar de database met vroeger gebruikte frequenties. Zo ben je er van verzekerd dat je boeken en CD's krijgt met actuele gegevens. - Meer details over kosten en verkrijgbaarheid van de boeken vind je op www.klingenfuss.org waar ook voorbeeld pagina's te bekijken zijn van de verschillende uitgaven. Neem zeker eens een kijkje, de voorbeeld pagina's tonen al leuke informatie over verschillende onderwerpen."
Thieu Mandos PA0M - NL199, NL-Post editor of VERON, in Electron, Netherlands - January 2022: "Buiten gebaande paden ... Ik wil nog wel eens buiten de gebaande paden luisteren, daarmee bedoel ik buiten onze amateurbanden. Zeker als er weinig activiteit is door de matige condities is het leuk om toch wat te interessants te ontdekken. Er zijn echt wonderlijk veel en vreemde signalen te horen, leuk voor een nieuwsgierige luisteramateur. Het vraagt vaak het nodige experimenteren om er achter te komen op wat voor signaal je afgestemd hebt, om hat vervolgens te decoderen en tot slot te bepalen wie het van waar uitzend. Er zijn signalen die je echt niet ontcijfert krijgt, omdat ze bewust sterk gecodeerd zijn. Maar er zijn ook heel wat stations nog gewoon mee te lezen. Om wat sneller de weg te vinden tussen al die signalen heeft Klingenfuss elk jaar weer een paar gidsen die je de weg wijzen. Zo kwamen er afgelopen maand ook weer een paar nieuwe uitgaves beschikbaar. - De 2022 Shortwave Frequency Guide is de meest compacte gids, goed gevuld met frequentie lijsten voor omroep en utility stations op lange- midden- en kortegolf ... Het bijzondere van deze lijsten is dat ze elk jaar gescreend worden of de vermelde stations on daar aanwezig zijn. Verder staan er ook de uitzendschema's in van de omroepstations. Het boek is in het Engels geschreven, maar de lijsten, tabellen en afkortingen verklaren zich zelf. - Maar er is meer. De 2021/2022 Guide to Utility Radio Stations is een meer op utility stations gespecialiseerde gids ... Ook in deze gids een lijst met stations per land en frequenties per station. Van enkele populaire modes als Navtex, FAX, RTTY, Meteo-stations zijn er lijsten met stations, frequentie en uitzendschema's. Een overvloed aan informatie voor wie op zoek gaat naar stations buiten de amateurbanden. - Maar het kan niet op. De 2022 Super Frequency List is er voor wie echt alles wil weten. Deze CD maakt al deze informatie op je PC toegankelijk. De CD bevat een aantal lijsten met zoek mogelijkheden op diverse criteria, zo'n beetje elke informatie die in de lijsten staat. En ja dan de lijsten. De CD bevat de Shortwave frequency guide plus de Guide to utility radio stations. Daarbij komt ook nog eens de lijst met "Former active stations". Dat zijn stations die recentelijk niet meer gehoord zijn. Met het opbloeien van de condities is er een redelijk kans dat ze hun ongebruikte frequenties weer op pakken ... Als bonus staan er ook nog eens bijna 1000 screenshots op van wat al die stations zoal versturen. - Bij mijn strooptochten buiten de amateurbanden en bij het identificeren van indringers in onze banden liggen deze boeken naast m'n ontvanger. Zo is het Radio Data Code manual voor mij nuttig bij het identificeren van welke codering er nu weer te horen is. Er is altijd wel wat nieuws te ontdekken, zeker buiten de gebaande paden."
VRZA Vereniging voor en door zendamateurs, Zuid West Nederland - 28 December 2021: "2021/2022 Guide to Utility Radio Stations ... zijn vaak digitaal. De Klingenfuss gids is daarbij trouwens een geweldig hulpmiddel (wat is het wat ik hoor?)"
Thieu Mandos PA0M - NL199, NL-Post editor of VERON, in Electron, Netherlands - December 2019: "Er is veel meer activiteit op de kortegolf, veel meer dan alleen maar radioamateurs. Al jaren gebruik ik dan de publicaties van Joerg Klingenfuss als wegwijzer, want er is veel te horen waarvan je niet in de gaten hebt wat het is. Daarbij komt ook nog eens dat er regelmatig wat veranderd in mode, frequentie, tijden en gebruikers. Mijn speurtochten buiten de amateurbanden zijn heel gevarieerd. Zo nu en dan probeer ik elk signaaltje wat opduikt te decoderen. Dan is het handig om in een van de gidsen op te zoeken wat voor codering en gebruiker achter het signaaltje verborgen zit. Er wordt een grote variatie aan digitale codes gebruikt door de professionele gebruikers van de kortegolf. Er zijn ook redelijk wat SSB signalen, vooral luchtvaart en scheepvaart is met spraak te beluisteren. Voor het identificeren van de signaaltjes heeft Klingenfuss leuke uitgaves van CD's met voorbeelden. In het boek Radio Data Code Manual wordt de opbouw van modulaties en codes uitgelegd in 600 pagina's. - 2020 Shortwave Frequency Guide ... Al met al een handige wegwijzer bij wie de korte golf wil verkennen buiten de amateurbanden. - 2019/2020 Guide to Utility Radio Stations ... wel een bont gezelschap aan kortegolfgebruikers. Deze gids is ruimer en gedetailleerder opgezet dan de Shortwave Frequency Guide en beter geschikt voor wie de achtergronden van veel gecodeerde signalen wil leren kenen. Een heerlijk boek om in te neuzen tijdens een ontdekkingsreis over de ruimte tussen onze amateurbanden. Al die piepjes en signaaltjes verbergen iemand, al zijn er tegenwoordig ook heel wat draaggolven en ruisbulten die als storing uit allerlei apparatuur komt. - 2020 Super Frequency List on CD ... De actuele lijsten zijn met de PC te doorzoeken naar station, frequentie, mode, land en de andere gegevens die er op staan. Dat is natuurlijk handig voor wie snel wat zoek in de overvloed van meer dan 10.000 vermeldingen. - Mocht het weer eens erg rustig zijn op de amateurbanden en heb je alles al gelogd, draai dan eens buiten de banden. Daar is een hele wereld van professionele gebruikers te beluisteren."
Thieu Mandos PA0M - NL199, NL-Post editor of VERON, in Electron, Netherlands - February 2017: "Wegwijs op de kortegolf ... Met bijna 1000 pagina's aan nieuwe publicaties verblijdde Klingenfuss ons in de vorm van een nieuwe uitgave van de 2017/2018 Guide to Utility Radio Stations en de 2017 Shortwave Frequency Guide. Tevens is er een nieuwe uitgave van de Super Frequency List 2017, de CD met haast onuitputtelijke informatie over kortegolfstations. Je moet in deze boeken geen lijst met DX stations verwachten, als je daar naar op zoek bent moet je kijken bij www.425dxn.org . Daar vind je informatie over radioamateur-DX, de expedities en hun plannen. Waar ik het hier over heb is de overvloed aan kortegolfstations die zich rondom de amateurbanden bevinden. Een groot deel daarvan bestaat uit professionele gebruikers van HF-radio, ook wel utility stations genoemd. Dat is veel meer dan scheepvaart, luchtvaart en omroep. Verdiep je er maar eens in en je zult versteld staan hoe intensief de ether gebruikt wordt, vooral door stations met digitale modulaties. 2017/2018 Guide to Utility Radio Stations ... Onder deze titel verschijnt er elke paar jaar een nieuwe uitgave van een interessant boek met circa 550 pagina's waarin meer dan 9000 frequenties en stations vermeld staan met de nodige details. Het is meer dan een frequentielijst, want een deel van het boek beschrijft ook hoe je de stations kunt herkennen en hoe de informatie verzameld is. Er zijn meer frequentielijsten, maar deze van Klingenfuss kenmerkt zich al jaren door de kwaliteit van de informatie. Er zit dan ook een heel team achter dat jaar in jaar uit de vermeldingen verifieert en zelf verzamelt, dus niet kopieert uit andere bronnen. Die controle is van vitaal belang, want ook de professionele gebruikers kiezen hun frequenties afhankelijk van de condities. Ook zij hebben meestal enkele frequenties beschikbaar en maken hieruit een keuze afhankelijk van jaargetijde, propagatie, tijdstip en bestemming van de uitzending. Met de veranderende mogelijkheden van de techniek wisselt ook de gekozen modulatie techniek van de stations. De een kiest op basis van betrouwbaarheid van signaal, de ander op maximale privacy van de berichtgeving. Natuurlijk hoor je nog wel SSB en een enkele FAX uitzending, maar het grootste deel is tegenwoordig e-mail via PACTOR en speciale codes. Ook is het gebruik van ALE ruim in gebruik, een mode waarbij automatisch de meest geschikte frequentie gekozen wordt. Alle details over digitale modes gebruikt bij professionele HF communicatie kun je vinden het boek Radio Data Code Manual, ook een uitgave van Klingenfuss. Speciaal voor de geïnteresseerden van meteorologie, luchtvaart en NAVTEX zijn er uitzendschema's van een aantal stations. Er staan ook een aantal voorbeelden in van uitzendingen die met speciale decoders opgenomen zijn. In die screenshots zie je wat er verborgen gaat achter al die vreemde geluiden om de korte golf. Heel wat stations zijn te decoderen met een simpele PC of gewoon luisteren. Mocht je een magisch piepje horen en willen weten wie er achter zit of hoe je de decodering moet aanpakken dan brengt de Utility Guide zeker uitkomst. - 2017 Shortwave Frequency Guide ... Dit is een gids met een wat beknoptere informatie over Utility Stations, maar als extra bevat dit boek ook informatie over de korte golf omroepstations. Dat zijn er ook heel wat waardoor het toch 350 pagina's geworden zijn. Deze gids verschijnt jaarlijks en is vooral interessant voor ook de korte golf omroepstations wil identificeren. Deze stations staan er met frequentie, naam, locatie, callsign, taal, uitzendtijden en gebied waarop die uitzendingen gericht zijn. Voor wie een uitzending vanuit een bepaald land zoekt is er ook een lijst gesorteerd op land, station, taal, uitzendtijd en frequentie. Zo kun je het wereldnieuws uit eerste hand volgen. - De 2017 Super Frequency List ... Dit is weer een heel andere verschijningsvorm van frequentie informatie, die goed past bij onze moderne media. Op CD is de informatie uit beide boeken samengebracht aangevuld met een lijst van frequenties die nu niet meer in gebruik zijn door de stations. Dat kan toch nuttige informatie zijn mocht een van die frequenties weer opnieuw in gebruik genomen worden. Door wijzigingen in het gebruiksschema komt het nogal eens voor dat een station een toegewezen frequentie enkele jaren niet gebruikt. Door dat in de frequentielijst te laten staan wordt die wel lekker groot, maar neemt de kwaliteit snel af door vervuiling. Iets wat Klingenfuss wil voorkomen en waar zijn team al bijna 50 jaar de goede kwaliteit aan dankt. De lijsten op CD zijn in het Engels of in het Duits te benaderen met een PC waarbij zoeken op diverse criteria mogelijk is. Zo kun je een selectie maken van stations op land, roepnaam, taal, modulatie, tijdstip, stationsnaam en natuurlijk frequentie. Ook op willekeurige stukken tekst is te zoeken. Dat is een handige functie, zoals ook het sturen van je ontvanger vanuit de frequentie database, iets wat wel ontvanger specifieke software afhankelijk is. Op de CD met Super Frequnecy List kun je stations zoeken naar keuze in de utility stations, in de shortwave guide of in de Old Frequency lijst. Deze Old frequency lijst bevat de vermeldingen die niet meer actueel zijn."
Thieu Mandos NL199, NL-Post editor of VERON, in Electron, Netherlands - February 2013: "De kortegolfgidsen 2013 ... Om nooit meer te verdwalen op de kortegolf in de overvloed aan zenders die je daar hoort zijn de kortegolfgidsen van Klingenfuss haast onmisbaar. Er hebben weer heel verschuivingen en veranderingen plaatsgevonden doordat veel stations hun frequenties aangepast hebben aan de verbeterde condities. Hierdoor zijn we heel blij dat er weer een nieuwe uitgave beschikbaar is van de "Guide to Utility Radio Stations" en de "Shortwave Frequency Guide". Dit wordt nog eens compleet gemaakt door de Super Frequency List" die op CD wordt uitgebracht en een heel nieuwe uitgave, de "Digital Data Decoder Screenshots" die op USB stick aangeboden worden. Er zijn natuurlijk nog enkele andere boeken beschikbaar van deze uitgave die ik ook kan aanbevelen zoals het "Radio Data Code Manual" en de "Recordings of modulation types" op twee audio-CD's. - 2013/2014 Guide to Utility Radio Stations ... Dit is inmiddels een standaard werk voor wie geïnteresseerd is in de professionele gebruikers van de kortegolf. De kwaliteit van de informatie in dit boek maakt het zo waardevol. Als het even kan wordt het jaarlijks geheel bijgewerkt zodat de gegevens die er in staan ook echt kloppen. Daarbij komt dat er tegenwoordig ook een aanvulling beschikbaar is via de website www.klingenfuss.org . Wat ooit eens begon als een lijst van telex stations is na 35 edities uitgegroeid tot een 550 pagina dik naslagwerk gevuld met frequentielijsten en verklarende tabellen. De omvang van de lijst bewijst maar weer eens dat de kortegolf nog volop leeft. Er wordt nog druk gebruik gemaakt van kortegolfverbindingen. Het zijn misschien wel heel andere gebruikers dan tien jaar geleden en ook de modulatiesoorten zijn aangepast aan de huidige technieken, maar het is er echt niet stil geworden. In deze gids staan geen omroepstations of radioamateurs vermeld, maar wel alle andere soorten professionele gebruikers. Daarbij moet je denken aan weerstations, luchtvaartverkeer, ambassades, hulpverleners, scheepvaart, militair en nog veel meer van dergelijke diensten. Veel van deze stations kun je beluisteren met je kortegolfontvanger. Niet het er allemaal reuze interessante berichten te horen zijn, maar je wil natuurlijk wel weten wie er verborgen zit achter al die verschillende digitale signalen. Zo nu en dan verdwaalt er ook wel eens een in de amateurbanden. Het decoderen van al die verschillende modulaties is tegenwoordig een stuk eenvoudiger geworden met de komst van PC's en passende software. Het monitor team van Klingenfuss gebruikt vooral de decoders van Wavecom. Daarmee checken ze of de beschreven stations nog op hun frequentie actief zijn en sporen ze nieuwe gebruikers op, zodat er weer een geheel bijgewerkte uitgave beschikbaar is voor jullie. Het kloppend hart van het boek is de frequentielijst waarin naast de frequentie tevens vermeld staat; De roepnaam (Call) van het station, de locatie, de gebruikte modulatie en codering en snelheid, aanvullende gegevens zoals tijden, bericht inhoud en eventuele samenhang met andere frequenties. Doordat al die details beknopt samengevat staan in de lijst worden er nogal wat afkortingen gebuikt, zoals we dat als amateurs zelf ook veel doen. Een deel van het boek is dan ook besteed aan de verklaring van de gebruikte afkortingen. Dat zijn ook de afkortingen die je tegen gaat komen tijdens het beluisteren van de stations. Deze lijsten maken het lezen van het boek en het luisteren een heel stuk prettiger. Wie op zoek is naar een station uit een bepaald land wordt geholpen door de alfabetische lijst waar de stations per land gegroepeerd staan. Van daar uit wordt verwezen naar de frequenties waar verdere details staan. Om een indruk te geven van wat je zoal kunt decoderen zijn er een groot aantal voorbeelden opgenomen van berichten zoals ze door de monitor stations ontvangen zijn en jij ze ook kunt decoderen. Het zijn screenshots waarop ook te zien is hoe de decoder ingesteld stond. Dat helpt bij het ontcijferen van al die magische signalen. Het is niet echt een boek dat je leest, maar veel meer een naslagwerk dat je gebruikt naast je ontvanger. Bij het gebruik ervan is het druk bladeren tussen de verschillende lijsten. De aanvullende informatie komt dan goed van pas. - 2013 Shortwave Frequency Guide ... Dit is een frequentielijst met een iets andere aanpak dan de utility guide. Hierin staan ook de kortegolf omroepstation. De lijst met utility stations in dit boek is wat beknopter met zijn informatie per station, maar niet minder compleet en actueel dan de utility guide. De tweede lijst in dit boek bevat de omroepstations op de kortegolf. Hierin staan naast de frequenties natuurlijk de naam van het station, het land, de tijden van uitzenden en de taal van de uitzending. Indien beschikbaar staan er nog wat aanvullende gegevens bij. Verwacht niet een verhalend boek dat allerlei achtergronden van de omroepstations vertelt zoals we dat kennen van het WRTH handboek. Dit is een spartaanse frequentielijst met die gegevens die je nodig hebt om een station te identificeren of op te sporen. Ook dit boek heeft een lijst met alfabetische vermelding van de stations en de benodigde lijsten met afkortingen. De shortwave frequency guide is echt een boek om mee te werken. Dat heeft het voordeel dat het niet storend is dat de hoofdstukken met verhalen in het Engels zijn. De frequentie vermeldingen en afkortingen zijn immers universeel voor elke taal. Waarschijnlijk staat het na een jaar vol aantekeningen die je maakt tijdens het luisteren en loggen. - 2013 Super Frequency List on CD ... Zoals de titel van deze uitgave al zegt is het een CD-Rom waar niet een maar verschillende frequentie lijsten op staan. Deze CD staat echt bol van detail informatie en biedt de mogelijkheid om er snel in te zoeken met de PC of zelfs de frequentielijsten te koppelen als database aan je ontvanger. Op de CD vind je de frequentie lijst zoals die ook in de Guide to Utility radio Stations staat. Doordat die hier met de PC te benaderen is, kun je er op allerlei manieren in zoeken. Tegenwoordig hebben veel amateurs de PC al gekoppeld aan de ontvanger voor het decoderen van digitale modes. Nu komt hij ook nog van pas als frequentie wegwijzer, echt handig. Ook de Shortwave Frequency Guide staat er op, zodat je ook snel de weg kunt vinden in de omroepstations en hun programma's. Tot slot is er nog een enorme lijst met frequenties die vroeger in gebruik zijn geweest. Klingenfuss bewaart deze historische lijst netjes gescheiden van de actuele gegevens, zodat de frequentielijsten van 2013 niet vervuild zijn met oude waardeloze gegevens. Het monitor team biedt zo een top kwaliteit frequentie gids, voor hun staat niet de omvang van de lijst voorop maar de kwaliteit. - Na het uitkomen van de nieuwe lijsten ben ik altijd weer heel wat avonden zoet met beluisteren van de nieuwe aanwinsten in de lijst. Daarna grijp ik er nog vaak op terug om te checken wat de bron is van het vreemde signaal wat er nu weer uit mijn ontvanger klinkt. Daarbij komt het Radio Data Code Manual ook erg goed van pas. Dat boek legt uit hoed de codes opgebouwd zijn en hoe je de verschillende modulatie soorten kunt herkennen en deoderen. Nu eens een keer geen frequentielijst maar meer een studieboek voor codekrakers. Een leuke bezigheid voor wie meer uit zijn ontvanger wil halen. Als je geïnteresseerd bent in de boeken, neem dan zeker een kijk op www.klingenfuss.org , daar staan heel wat interessante boeken voor de kortegolf luisteramateur."
Thieu Mandos NL199, NL-Post editor of VERON, in Electron, Netherlands - February 2012: "De toegenomen activiteit van de zon maakt van de kortegolf weer een grote bruisende bron van plezier. Vooral op de frequenties boven 10 MHz is weer veel meer te horen dan de afgelopen paar jaar ... enorm veel veranderingen in de uitzendschema's en frequenties van de professionale gebruikers van de kortegolf. Klingenfuss 2012 Shortwave Frequency Guide ... Door en hoge kwaliteitsnorm te hanteren en niet klakkeloos te kopieren hebben zijn uitgaven veel andere boeken, gidsen en lijsten overleefd. Zijn gidsen vinden dan ook aftrek bij de hele kortegolf-luistergemeenschap, zowel hobbyist als professional. - Radio Data Code Manual ... In 600 pagina's worden al di geheimzinnige piep-, kraak- en krasgeluiden ontdaan van hun magie."
Thieu Mandos NL199, NL-Post editor of VERON, in Electron, Netherlands - February 2010: "2009/2010 Guide to Utility Radio Stations ... standaardwerk voor de utility luisteraar. Een onvoorstelbare hoeveelheid details van de radiostations die je kunt beluisteren is te vinden in dit boek. Stations die werkelijk van over de geheles wereld komen. Interessant zijn ook de screenshots die het decoderen van diverse stations tonen, leuk te zien dat daar gebruikgemaakt wordt van de Perseus SDR-ontvanger en van WAVECOM decoders. Voor uitleg en de achtergrondinformatie moet je wel het boek erbij hebben. - 2010 Shortwave Frequency Guide ... Hiermee zijn de stations goed te identificeren of kun je op jacht gaan naar een van de stations. - 2010 Super Frequency List on CD ... voor wie echt alles wil weten van de kortegolf. Een enorme database dus met snelle zoegmogelijkheden."
Michiel Schaay at 3 April 2003 on www.kortegolf.info and in Radio Amateur Magazine, Netherlands, May 2003: "Radio Data Code Manual ... een werkelijk goed inzicht te verwerven in de digitale transmissiesoorten en -protocollen die de kortegolf bevolken. Gerichte zoekopdrachten op het internet kunnen veel interessante informatie boven water brengen. Toch blijft er altijd behoefte aan een gedrukt overzichtswerk. In zijn Radio Data Code Manual brengt Klingenfuss een grote hoeveelheid relevante informatie samen. Gewapend met dit 600 pagina's tellende boekwerk, kan de toegewijde hobbyist zich stap voor stap een weg banen in de (soms ondoorzichtige) wereld van de professionele kortegolf communicatie. Klingenfuss rafelt een aantal belangrijke digitale transmissietechnieken uiteen, ruimschoots geïllustreerd met signaalanalyses en computer screenshots. En-passant signaleert hij trends en ontwikkelingen, bijvoorbeeld op het gebied van HF e-mail. Waarom is Pactor-2 in feite de standaard geworden en bijvoorbeeld niet Clover-2000? Het antwoord op deze en andere vragen is in het Radio Data Code Manual te vinden. De beste maatstaf voor de kwaliteit van de informatie, is de indrukwekkende lijst van professionele klanten van Klingenfuss. In ons land hebben bijvoorbeeld het Ministerie van Defensie, de Koninklijke Landmacht en de NAVO boekwerken van Klingenfuss op de plank staan."
Michiel Schaay at 7 January 2004 on www.kortegolf.info and in Radio Amateur Magazine, Netherlands, February 2004: "2004 Guide to Utility Radio Stations ... Eén van de meest opmerkelijke ontwikkelingen op dit gebied, is de toename van het aantal ALE-signalen. Steeds meer communicatiestations gaan ertoe over om onderlinge HF-verbindingen op te starten met het Automatic Link Establishment systeem, kortweg ALE genoemd. Deze sterke stijging van het aantal ALE-gebruikers komt ook tot uiting in de editie 2004 van de Klingenfuss-gids. Het in kaart brengen van digitale kortegolf transmissies is sinds jaar en dag een sterk punt van de Guide to Utility Radio Stations. De nieuwste editie onderstreept dat nog eens. Maar natuurlijk komen ook een groot aantal stations in enkelzijband, morse en fax aan bod in de nieuwe frequentiebijbel van Klingenfuss. Zoals gebruikelijk omvat de 22e editie ook een waaier aan informatie, die wordt verdeeld over gerangschikte overzichten en redactionele artikelen. De actiefste signaaljagers onder u zullen zeker geen editie willen missen. De verzameling van uw redacteur begint bij de uitgave van 1985. Zo'n serie vuistdikke boekwerken biedt uiteraard een fraaie en goed gedocumenteerde kijk op van het gebruik van de kortegolf gedurende de laatste twee decennia. - 2004 Shortwave Frequency Guide ... Het kan echter nog completer, want in zijn Shortwave Frequency Guide combineert Klingenfuss zijn database van communicatiediensten met een kwalitatief hoogstaand bestand van actuele omroepfrequenties. Maar met in totaal 20300 frequenties krijgt de lezer de beschikking over een alomvattend naslagwerk, dat zijn weerga niet kent. - Overigens vinden we alle frequenties uit het boekwerk terug op een door Klingenfuss uitgebrachte CD. Deze 2004 Super Frequency List on CD bevat bovendien een archief van 19600 inactieve frequenties en geeft ons daarmee een interessante terugblik op het verleden. Alle gegevens op deze CD zijn toegankelijk via een meegeleverd databaseprogramma, dat draait onder de besturingssystemen Windows 3.1, 95, 98, 2000, ME, NT en XP. Vanzelfsprekend zijn er allerlei zoekacties en sorteringen mogelijk."
Dirk van de Wal, Utility Mozaiek editor of DX Antwerp, Belgium, in Bulletin July 2003: "De Radio Data Code Manual is reeds jaren het standaardwerk op gebied van de digitale datatransmissie ... Voor wie echt ge interesseerd is in digitale datatransmissie en daarbij tot op de bodem wil gaan mag dit boek onmisbaar genoemd worden."

De kwaliteit van de vermelde stations is uitstekend. De gegevens zijn niet blindelings gekopieerd uit overzichten en andere lijsten. Het gemak waarmee je kunt zoeken is echt een genot. - 2003 Guide to Utility Radio Stations ... Dit is een standaardwerk voor wie geïnteresseerd is in utility stations. Met die boek in de hand kun je de meeste geheimzinnige signalen snel ontmaskeren. De kwaliteit van de informatie staat hoog in het vaandel van de Klingenfuss organisatie. Als een signal 15 maanden niet meer gehoord is wordt het afgevoerd naar de lijst met voormalige stations. In de actuele lijst is dan ook elk jaar weer de helft veranderd. Zeker de laatste paar jaar is er veel veranderd op de kortegolf. Het boek is echt een gids voor wie de kortegolf wil ontdekken. - De 2003 Shortwave Frequency Guide is een bijzonder handig boek bij onze speurtochten op de kortegolf. Het blinkt uit in informatiedichtheid en actualietit."
Michiel Schaay at 23 December 2002 on http://www.kortegolf.info and in Radio Amateur Magazine, Netherlands, February 2003: "2003 Guide to Utility Radio Stations ... 2003 Super Frequency List on CD ... 2003 Shortwave Frequency Guide ... Het trio vormt een ware goudmijn voor de doorgewinterde kortegolf hobbyist. Ook professionele telecomwerkers gebruiken de Klingenfuss-gidsen. De frequentiegidsen en -bestanden van de Duitse kortegolf specialist zijn voornamelijk opgebouwd uit zijn eigen waarnemingen en die van enkele medewerkers. Voor de ontvangst van telexuitzendingen in alle mogelijke transmissie protocollen is het boekwerk in feite onmisbaar."
Guido Schotmans in DX Antwerp Bulletin, Belgium - January 2002: "2002 Shortwave Frequency Guide ... De correctheid van de listings is erg groot. En voor tropenband frequenties blijkt het boek een pluspunt te zijn. Je vindt er soms actieve stations in terug die in andere lijsten niet vermeld staan. Zenders die sedert jaar en dag uit dienst zijn werden ook niet gepubliceerd ... in jeder geval een aanbevelenswaardig boek."
Peter van der Wal in Radio Amateur Magazine, Netherlands - June 2001: "Jörg Klingenfuss ... der ware konig als het gaat om uitgeven van boeken en cd rom's waar men vrijwel elke frequentie tussen een paar kiloherz en 30 mhz terugvindt. U hoort een station? In de beroemde Klingenfuss is elk omroep en bedrijfsstation terug te vinden. Met en kop koffie in de bank geef ik de voorkeur aan een book: elk overzichtswerk is een ware ontdekkingstocht."
Guido Schotmans in DX Antwerp Bulletin, Belgium - April 2001: "2001 Shortwave Frequency Guide ... De correctheid van de listings is erg groot.

In een paar jaar tijd is dit boek doorgedrongen tot de top van informatiebronnen over omroepstations. Het is een boek dat bijzonder actueel is en werkelijk alle omroepstations vermeld ... een gedetailleerde en volledige opsomming van feiten, geordend naar frequentie en land ... echt een boek voor wie het uiterste eist voor wat betreft acualiteit en volledigheid. Deze kwaliteit zijn we gewend van de uitgever Klingenfuss. - 2000 Guide to Utility Radio Stations ... Wie gefascineerd wordt door de mystieke piepjes en kraken op de kortegolf vindt in dit boek een schat aan informatie. Zonder twijfel is de informatie die Klingenfuss verstrekt actueel. Terwijl ik dit schrijf lees ik op jun internet site een aanvulling met frequenties die drie uur geleden nieuw gedecodeerd zijn. Zo wordt het een echte uitdaging iets nieuws te ontdekken dat zij nog niet gehoord hebben! - 2000 Super Frequency List on CD ... In milliseconden verschijnt een lijstje met stations die aan je zoekcriteria voldoen. Heel wat sneller dan bladeren in dikke boeken."

De beschreven stations zijn er echt! - Super Frequency List on CD-ROM ... De lijst bevat een enorme hoeveelheid informatie die terug te vinden is in drie andere boeken die samen 2000 pagina's beslaan."
Thieu Mandos PA0MPM, NL-Post editor of VERON, Netherlands, in Electron March 1996: "Guide to Utility Radio Stations ... een perfecte gids. De kwaliteit van deze gids is zijn nauwkeurigheid, volledigheid en actualiteit. De grootste variatie van geïdentificeerde coderingen vind je in deze gids. - The Super Frequency List on CD-ROM ... overtroeft daarmee alle ander gidsen in het aantal stations. De zoek mogelijkheden zijn met een CD-ROM echt heel handig, daar kan geen boek tegenop. Ik kan ieder de combinatie aanbevelen. - Passport to World Band Radio ... In ruim 70 pagina's worden de nieuwste ontvangers beschreven. De blue pages maken van Passport een unieke gids, die vooral goed helpt bij de speurtocht naar zwakke stations. De combinatie van veel feiten, een heldere presentatie en veel lezenswaardige rubrieken maken dit boek tot een aangename gids op de kortegolven."

Magnus Jesperson in Sveriges DX-Förbund's Eter Aktuellt - February/March 2012: "2012 Shortwave Frequency Guide ... mycket läsvärt ... Bokens häftning är mycket tacknämligt gjord så att den ligger kvar i uppslaget läge, någon inte gäller alla böcker ... Målgruppen är istället de som vill lyssna på lite av varje. I det sammanhanget fungerar den bra, då rundradiostationerna försvinner en efter en från kortvågen ... blir det alltmer attraktivt att bredda hobbyn för att slippa lägga ner den helt och hållet. - För den som hellre sitter framför datorn än slär i böcker finns the 2012 Super Frequency List on CD. Lite förenklat kan man säga att den är 2012 Shortwave Frequency Guide i digital form. Fördelen är att man kan söka i informationen mycket snabbt, och dessutom sortera den på olika sätt, exv. efter-frekvens eller stationsnamn."
Sveriges DX-Förbund's DX-Köp - 19 December 2010: "2011/2012 Guide to Utility Radio Stations ... Detta är Klingenfuss förlags storsäljare. Världens största och bästa handledning om icke-rundradiostationer inom hela kortvågsområdet 3 - 30 MHz samt frekvensområdena 0 - 150 kHz och 1,6 - 3 MHz."
