Here in the States, we\u2019re celebrating Thanksgiving<\/a> today. It\u2019s my favorite holiday because it\u2019s all about giving thanks and spending time with friends, family, and eating some amazing food. Of course, it’ll be a bit different this year as families opt to meet virtually in an effort to stop the spread of Covid-19.<\/p>\n

I believe we radio enthusiasts, who are used to meeting wirelessly, are especially adept at making this work. Besides, nothing can stop us from being grateful!<\/p>\n

Speaking of giving thanks, thank you dear readers for making the\u00a0SWLing Post<\/em>\u00a0such a welcoming community to radio enthusiasts of all stripes. The\u00a0SWLing Post<\/em>\u00a0is a true labor of love, and it\u2019s an honor to serve it up to you!<\/p>\n

I\u2019d especially like to thank our Sponsors, Patrons, Producers, Executive Producers<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Coffee Fund<\/a>\u00a0contributors. Your financial support helps keep this a dynamic radio space over the long haul!<\/strong><\/p>\n

You all make this a terrific\u00a0place for everything\u00a0radio!<\/strong><\/p>\n
