I enjoy shortwave, road cycling, science and&#13;<br \/>\nastronomy. It&#8217;s nice to be able to listen, learn and find out about different&#13;<br \/>\ncountries and cultures around the world. I feel that shortwave radio listening&#13;<br \/>\nis a hobby that many here in the US have forgotten about, and that to me is sad&#13;<br \/>\nbecause there is so much on. I love going into my little radio room and sitting&#13;<br \/>\nin front of my receiver and just listen. No Internet, cell phones, just me and&#13;<br \/>\nmy radio, doing it the old fashion way. I find that peaceful and relaxing. I&#13;<br \/>\nlisten to RRI every time I tune in to my radio. I really like the programs,&#13;<br \/>\nnews and especially the music. It&#8217;s nice that Radio Romania has continued to&#13;<br \/>\nbroadcast on shortwave when many stations have chosen to leave the air waves. I&#13;<br \/>\nthing everyone at RRI does a great job of reporting the news, and all other&#13;<br \/>\nprograms are well put together, informative and a pleasure to listen to.

We had mention of this unfortunate accident at our newspapers. I&#13;<br \/>\nexpress my condolences to the families of the poor souls.  I also read&#13;<br \/>\nthe comments of the Listeners Day opinion post on the website. This is really a&#13;<br \/>\nvery important matter at present, and thanks again for all the news coverage&#13;<br \/>\nand analytical presentations on the programme. I wish to inform you that I am&#13;<br \/>\nlistening, reading your website and I am connected to RRI. Thanks for all the interesting&#13;<br \/>\nprogrammes and the web content. Still my most access to RRI is via the&#13;<br \/>\nshort-wave radio, which is coming good as usual without any issues.
