This is early this time but have a little spare time and wanted to mention here the people that are behind the blog, you don’t see them, don’t read them but they are there in the shadows. Why in the shadows? Some are insiders at companies who let me know odds and ends, some are at companies who kindly let me know a mod or let me know something juicy to add here or in the magazine and indeed some, and most are friends who have helped, supported, pissed me off, kicked me into action when the head was willing and the heart was not.
As the festive season is fast approaching some will leave towards there homes where indeed some don’t have internet, or will be off to the holidays and return only when the festivities are a memory in the minds eye. So, here we are in no particular order the thank you for the following people, some with comments and most with not as they know there contribution and also know am forever grateful for there skill, thanks, help and expertise in there own areas of the radio spectrum.
Markus Neuner Owner of www.neuner.de who is always there, always helpful, always kind and always has something new, something different, something special when it is needed and never lets me down or indeed any customers.
Stefania, Lorenzo, Francesco, Marco D & all at Sirio Antenne The most kind and friendly people that walked the antenna world. The engineers who always kindly answer emails about the Gain Master when I know they think he writes again and of course to Stefania and Francesco from the family Sirio. Special people and hope to see you in 2014 once again and thanks for the help from the past years.

And there are so many more, really. And there is of course the ones who I annoyed when I found out things I shouldn’t have. There are the ones who think they know my sources, but more than one time they email and are blaming wrong people. This list is just the start of the thanks.
Also this year like also radio years has people who became silent key. The people who know me know that this year was a tough one as many old timer stations passed on. Whether they were legal operators, SSB men, amateurs or simply those who wanted a chat anywhere on the band. Families miss you, and of course the radio world is a worse place without you.
