<< can anybody tell me which publication is better - M-Street Radio Directory
(published by IRCA) or AM-Radio-Log (published by NRC) ???>>

M Street Directory is not published by IRCA - they merely offer it for sale
in the club bulletin at a disount to their members.

During the last couple of years I have been using it, I find that the M
Street Directory has served me better than the AM Radio Log in the areas of
station information - especially station addresses.  However, the AM Radio
Log is constructed in a way which makes it easier to identify a station on a
particular frequency.
 
<< Somebody says that 30 % of addresses in AM-Radio-Log is out-of-date
 already at the time of updating (September), but the M-Street is out in May
and a part of it can be out-of-date when the winter season comes (to our
northern hemisphere).>>

Both publications offer update supplements available for an extra cost.
 
 <<I have got the latest edition of the AM-Radio-Log and for the next winter
season I would like to buy me a new edition or the M-Street. What is your
advice?>>

If you must choose one over the other, I would say buy an M-Street Journal,
compare it with AM Radio Log after using it for a year, and then decide which
publication better suits your needs.  I use both publications, as they
supplement each other well.
