Wishing You a Happy New Year, Looking Ahead to an Exciting 2026
As we turn the page on another year, I want to take a moment to wish all of my readers a very Happy New Year. Whether you’ve been following along for years or just recently discovered my site, your time, interest, and support truly mean more than you may realize.
The start of a new year is always a great opportunity to pause, reflect, and look forward and 2026 is shaping up to be an especially exciting one.
Looking Back: Highlights From the Past Year
This past year brought steady growth and meaningful progress across my site. Some of the highlights include:
The continued expansion of articles focused on Trains & Model Railroading.
New and updated articles and post exploring Amateur Radio, including completing the transition of my Beginners Guide To Motorola ASTRO 25 CPS Video Series from YouTube to this site.
Improvements behind the scenes to make the site more secure, organized, and easier to navigate.
The growth of member-only content, allowing for deeper dives and more specialized topics and more.
None of this happens in a vacuum. Every article read, every comment shared, and every membership purchased helps keep the momentum going.
A Heartfelt Thank You to My New Members
I want to extend a sincere thank you to everyone who has purchased a membership and chosen to support my work directly. Your support plays a critical role in keeping this site active and growing, and it allows me to continue researching, writing, and sharing content that goes beyond the basics.
Memberships don’t just unlock premium content, they help sustain the time, tools, and effort that go into everything published here. I truly appreciate your trust and support.
Thinking About the Year Ahead
The beginning of a new year is a great time to reflect on what inspires us and what we want to explore next. Maybe that means:
Learning more about Amateur Radio or a favorite Motorola Model Specific Radio.
Starting a new model railroad project, make more progress towards completing the layout or dive deep into some rail history.
Making more time for curiosity, creativity, and going hands-on with a new DIY Projects.
Small steps can lead to rewarding journeys, especially when they’re driven by genuine interest and enjoyment.
Considering Membership?
If you enjoy the content here and haven’t yet become a member, the new year is a great time to consider it. Memberships help support my site and gives you access to exclusive articles, deeper insights, and future content planned specifically for subscribers.
It’s one of the best ways to be part of the ongoing growth of this site and there’s plenty more ahead.
Looking Ahead to a Historic 2026
This year is especially significant, as 2026 marks America’s 250th anniversary, formally known as the Semiquincentennial. It’s a milestone that invites reflection on where we’ve been and excitement for where we’re headed.
Throughout the year, I plan to explore new ideas, expand existing topics, and introduce fresh content that ties history, hobbies, and hands-on learning together in meaningful ways. There are some exciting projects and articles already taking shape, and I’m looking forward to sharing them with you.
Final Thoughts
As we step into 2026, I want to thank you once again for being part of this journey. Whether you’re here for my Amateur Radio, DIY Projects, or Trains commentary, I’m glad you’re along for the ride.
If you haven’t already, I encourage you to explore my Blog, where you’ll find a growing collection of historical insights, personal reflections, and hobby-focused content. There’s much more ahead, and I’m excited to continue building and sharing it with you throughout the year.
Here’s to a happy, healthy, and rewarding New Year and to all the opportunities that lie ahead.
