The previously untold story of the Zenith Trans-Oceanic, the world’s most romantic and expensive series of portable radios. Long a companion of kings, presidents, transoceanic yachtsmen and world explorers, the Trans-Oceanic was also carried into battle by American troops in three wars. Its great popularity in spite of a very high price can be laid at the feet of several generations of armchair travelers who used the shortwave capabilities of the Trans-Oceanic as a window on the world. With access to the Zenith corporate archives and their long experience as radio enthusiasts and writers for both the popular and scholarly press, Professors Bryant and Cones present the engrossing stories of the development and use of the Trans-Oceanic throughout its forty year life. They present a wealth of never-before published photographs, documents and information concerning these fascinating radios, their collection, preservation and restoration.

This practical handbook is a must for the large number of shortwave listeners who travel frequently. It’s also a useful guide to anyone interested in hearing shortwave broadcasts while travelling anywhere in the world. Author Andrew Yoder includes a wealth of valuable information that shortwave enthusiasts can use immediately to increase their listening pleasure while on the road. After providing helpful descriptions of the different types of mobile shortwave radios, Yoder explains how to build and install effective portable shortwave antennas. Several complete projects are included to demonstrate how quick and easy it is to construct these makeshift antennas. The remainder of the book consists of detailed listings of the best frequencies and times to listen to shortwave radio stations in Africa, Asia, Europe, North America, South America, and Oceania. Especially valuable to travellers are the two appendices: a UTC time chart and a chart of voltages and frequencies for wall outlets around the world.
