There shouldn’t be an interruption here on the SWLing Post<\/em>, but I will not have a lot of time to reply to questions via email. Feel free to continue sending your tips, articles, and stories, but if you have in-depth questions, it could take me a couple or more weeks to get back to you as I’m pretty sure my email will stack up during this time.<\/p>\n

It’s ironic, but this crazy “Social DXing<\/a>” year has provided me the opportunity to review and evaluate more gear than I ever have in one calendar year. On the flip side, I’ve been so<\/em> busy doing evaluations that I’ve had less time to enjoy pure SWLing fun. I’m looking forward to fixing that this week!<\/p>\n

If you have a radio related question, I’d encourage you to post it in the comments section of a related post (or even this post). We’ve an active community of radio enthusiasts here who are incredibly helpful.<\/p>\n

Cheers & Happy Listening!<\/p>\n
