\"\"<\/a>Last week, I had the pleasure of posting the latest installment of Don Moore\u2019s \u201cPhoto Album\u201d series<\/a>\u00a0on the SWLing Post<\/em>. Don has contributed numerous Photo Album travelogues<\/a> over the past two years, offering readers a rich blend of history, culture, and radio-related adventures. This latest series focuses on Albania, with Part One posted last week<\/a> and Part Two set to publish this coming Sunday.<\/p>\n

It was while working on these articles that I was reminded of how much I enjoyed Don\u2019s book, Tales of a Vagabond DXer<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re a fan of radio or travel\u2014or ideally both\u2014this book is a must-read. Don masterfully weaves his experiences as a DXer with his extraordinary adventures in Latin America, where he visited over 150 radio stations. Beyond the technical and radio-related aspects, his storytelling captures the vibrant and often unexpected encounters that come with exploring remote regions.<\/p>\n

Tales of a Vagabond DXer<\/em> isn\u2019t just a book for radio enthusiasts; it\u2019s a compelling travelogue that anyone who loves the thrill of discovering new places will appreciate.\u00a0 If you\u2019re still looking for a unique gift this holiday season, I highly recommend adding it to your list!<\/p>\n

Tales of a Vagabond DXer<\/i> is available from Amazon.com in trade-sized paperback for $12.99 or Kindle eBook for $4.99, or for equivalent prices in local currencies on non-US Amazon stores.<\/p>\n
