February 1 marks eight years since the relaunch of The Solid Signal Blog. While we did some great work in 2007-2010, I am super-proud of the work I’ve done here in the years since our official relaunch.
What a long strange trip…
Since 2012, our blog has hosted over 15,000 articles. Unfortunately many of them were lost during our hosting changeover in 2018, but all of the best stuff was preserved and you’ll find the top 6,000 here for you to read and enjoy. We’ve also added close to 500 videos and dozens of downloadables that have helped an estimated 5 million people!
But it’s time to grow some more.
As we start the coming year, it’s time to ask our loyal fanbase. What would you like to see at The Solid Signal Blog? We’re most proud of our words, but we’re spending more time these days with videos. What do you think of that idea?
Because this is your blog too.
Since 2012 we’ve grown from 25 readers (no kidding!) to 200,000 readers per month. It’s all because of you. I’m talking to you folks who show up and read day after day. I know there are about 7,500 of you who come by to read all the time. I don’t log IP addresses, but I do get anonymized information from Google.
So how about it? What sounds good to you? I plan on keeping this blog going for at least another eight years and I hope you’ll be on this trip with me?
Let me know in the comments below and don’t be surprised if you see some of your wishes for 2020 coming true here at The Solid Signal Blog!
One topic: Why is there such a poor offer of affordable OTA field signal meters (ATSC) in the States? If you compare it for example to the european DVB-T/T2 standard, it is just mind boggling. They have a huge offer of OTA signal meters.
That is a great question. I would love to find a decent ATSC 1.0/3.0 meter for people to use at home. Considering that it’s the same technology that’s in every TV, I don’t know why it’s so hard.
I would like to see more about the progress of 5g Internet from the standpoint of home based internet. I live in an area where there are very few options but good cell service. I know the 5g rollout is progressing through major cities first, but much of the discussion is directed towards cellphone usage and very little about its home internet applications. An update in this area everyone once in a while would be a welcomed addition.
