    Thanks for the comments, DanH. You are quite right about the potential for RFI issues. I’m 100% SDR here with a CloudIQ and active loop antenna. So far no problems for me but I do take grounding very seriously. I was not so clear in my post but my intention was to ask about content accuracy. So far everything I run across on air has been correct in ILG if I keep up with their updates which come out every few months.

    The two products are very different. ILGRadio is software, WRTH is a paperback book with seasonal PDF supplements that may be printed at home. I listen to SW broadcasters. If I was using a software defined radio that could use ILGRadio databases then I would be more interested in it. I use traditional solid state and tube operated SW radios so WRTH works very well for me. Plus, I don’t need to power up an RF generating computer monitor to use it. For those times when I want an online service for my SW listings I find that the free Short-Wave.Info works pretty well right from my WIFI smartphone. I don’t get SW QRM from the cellphone or from WRTH paper.

    I haven’t used the ILGRadio product, so I can’t tell you if the domestic and international SW listings are any better than using WRTH + Short-Wave-Info.

      I should add that Short-Wave.Info is more of a convenience tool than an up-to-date source like WRTH. I see that Short-Wave.Info does not have the latest RNZI listings and hasn’t been updated since September of last year.

    Hello. I’m sure this book is good, but I already subscribe to the list from ilgradio.com which I find to be excellent. Can anyone compare the two or comment if there is any reason to have both? Thanks much.
