All,
You could try "Radio Amateurs Guide to the Ionosphere" by Leo F. Mcnamara, 
published by Krieger Publishing Company, Malabar, Florida.  I just noticed it 
is dated 1994 but certainly quite extensive and covering a number of topics not 
covered in the usual amateur radio books mentioned.  I found it on Alibris or 
Amazon and not over priced considering I am the wrong side of the Atlantic :-)

To all:

Because the George Jacobs et al "New" shortwave propagation book (as  
fine as it is) is aging in terms of InterNet references and newer  
software availability, I went looking for other books on the topic.

Note: Apparently a revised edition of Jacobs is not in the works.

I ordered "Radio Propagation: Principles and Practice" by Poole (an  
RSGB pub) selling for $29.95 plus shipping from ARRL.  Sorry to say,  
this book is basically introductory in nature, and is (in my opinion)  
seriously overpriced (has less than 100 pages).

It has no bibliography and Internet and software references are few  
and far between.

In contrast, the latest (21st Edition) of the ARRL Antenna Book  
propagation chapter (thanks, Dean Straw) has much up-to-date and  
useful propagation information, numerous bibliographic cites and much  
InterNet and software info (as well as at least a lifetime's worth of  
specific theoretical and practical antenna information hi).

73,

Warren  KH6WM
