 Station Listings, technical articles and listening guides: 1921 to 1932 
In 1922 the Citizen's Radio Callbook Magazine began publication  with lists of radio stations, with location, frequency, power, and programming descriptions and contained both consumer-oriented and technical articles on radio and how to listen.
More about the Call Book
The Callbook was two issues per year from inception to the end of 1925, in the form of "Spring" and "Fall" issues. In 1926 and 1927, the Callbook was 3 issues per year: Spring (Mar), Fall (Sep) and Winter (Nov or Dec). In 1928-1930, it was 4 issues per year (Jan, Mar, Sep, Nov). In 1931, they did 5 issues (Jan, Mar, Oct, Nov, Dec) and in 1932 they ran monthly from Jan to Jun when it was absorbed into Radio News.
In 1928 the editor wrote, "With this issue, the CITIZEN'S RADIO CALL BOOK enters into the seventh year of publication. The CITIZEN'S RADIO CALL BOOK of today is very much different from the modest loose-leaf Call Book of 1921. Originally conceived to supply the demand of the commercial and amateur operator for a Call Book containing all of the radio stations of the world, this magazine has slowly changed, both in physical appearance and type of content. We have endeavored, as year after year passed, to improve the magazine so that it would appeal to the radio public as a whole. Nor have we neglected our original readers."
