Well Worth the Price Time Owned: more than 12 months.
It is a magazine that I enjoy reading that has many different aspects that reflect the hobby. Always a welcomed read.

Worth it! Time Owned: more than 12 months.
I like it: good articles, straight talk, theory, practice, DXpedition news and more. There's always something of interest.

For just a bit over $1 an issue, how can you complain? You pay more than that for a Sunday paper and the paper is trash in a day. I read and enjoy the WR all month.

HuH? Time Owned: N.A.
Several years ago, I subscribed, sent my money in and they cashed the check and I NEVER received any copies other than the ocassional
free sample copy. I still get one on rare occasion. Very Poor...

I never got a copy Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
I subscribed to Worldradio back in February they charged my account on the 28th and I have yet to receive a copy. I requested a FREE copy last year and received the FREE copy with in four days. I thought they would treat PAYING subscribers better than those wanting something FREE. I have contacted them on two separate occasions the first time they ask what my mailing address was and that they would check the second time they said I would have a copy by the end of the week, still no copy. I have requested a full refund but as yet have not received any type of acknowledgement. Don’t waste your time or money.

Lifetime of fun Time Owned: more than 12 months.
I found I was picking up a copy of World Radio each time I went
to HRO. One month, I made the trip mostly for that little rag!
At that point, I decided the lifetime subscription would probably
save me money in the long run... if only in gas!
Each issue has something of interest and the small-town feel
of this newspaper printed periodical is a nice change from
the slick-covered QST and CQ. Finally, the lifetime subscription
option is a great value. Perhaps it isn't for everybody, but
sample issues are often sent to new hams and an issue is less
than $2. There are few things in the hobby less expensive to try!

What's all the fuss about? Time Owned: 3 to 6 months.
Take it as a freebee butthe ads could be printed and the content left out.

GREAT for advertisers! Time Owned: more than 12 months.
VERY affordable advertising rates for those of us who have part-time "cottage" type ham/swl businesses. For the price of a lil' teenie weenie 1" ad in CQ, I can purchase a 1/3 page display ad in WR and MORE! The circulation's about the same since WR mails out samples CONSTANTLY. They also offer many freebies at hamfests and pass out gift subscriptions for local clubs to give away as prizes. Plus the articles are pretty darn good. That Crusty Ole' Kurt and Lil' Paddle are quite a couple....

Beauty is in the eyes of the reader! Time Owned: more than 12 months.
Beauty is indeed in the eyes of the beholder. A hippo looks great to another hippo. A croc to another croc, etc.

For a few months I took this mag. I grew weary of the constant lecturing about SWR and the false claims of commercial antenna makers. Each issue was the Same Old Same Old!

The price then was reasonable but I guickly learned that low value at any price is still low value. As a result, I gave up my subscription.

I gave this mag a 2 instead of a 0 because it was very easy to throw this newspaper looking pub away; whereas, I have trouble tossing the slick, full color ham mags.
