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
Buone Feste caro Amico…

Merry Christmas Thomas, and to all my fellow SWLing fellow travelers!
Last night I was listening to Christmas music, sung in Japanese, and broadcast from France (via RFI from Issoudun). Is this a great global hobby, or what?!?!?! 🙂
Thank You Thomas! I much appreciate the ongoing support to radio lovers here! It is always great to share thoughts with many worldwide listeners.
I wish you and your family a Merry Christmas and a safe and enjoyable New Year!
Thank you Thomas, for giving us radio enthusiasts a voice, and a comfortable place to share and explore our hobby, which does indeed bring joy and comfort, and yes, even excitement at times!
Merry Christmas to you and your family, and a blessed New Year full of hope, love, and peace.
Cheers my friend!
