As the year draws to a close, I want to take a moment to wish all of you a very Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, Happy Hanukkah, a meaningful Winter Solstice, and warm wishes to everyone celebrating this season in their own way.

Radio listening has a unique way of bringing us together–quietly, thoughtfully, and often across great distances. Whether you’ve spent the year chasing DX on shortwave, exploring mediumwave at night, tuning utility stations, hunting pirate stations, or simply enjoying the familiar comfort of local broadcasts, I hope radio has offered you moments of curiosity, calm, and connection.

I’m deeply grateful for your continued readership, encouragement, and support of the SWLing Post. This site exists because of a passionate, generous community of listeners who love radio and believe in sharing knowledge and discovery. Thank you for being part of that community and for making this such a welcoming space.

As we look toward the new year, I wish you good health, stronger signals, less noise, and many rewarding hours at the radio.

May 2026 bring peace, kindness, and plenty of fascinating signals to log.

With sincere thanks and best wishes,
Thomas
