Namaste!I would like to
\nconvey my heart-felt best wishes and congratulations to all of you who work for
\nRadio Romania International and all the listeners on the occasion of the 12th
\nUNESCO World Radio Day under the theme of Radio and Peace celebrated today on
\nFebruary 13.<\/p>\n
\n
<\/p>\n
It’s really encouraging to
\nsee that in these times of uncertainty, the leadership of RRI has affirmed
\nradio’s role in assisting to reduce tensions, preventing conflicts and
\nfostering peace by acting as a tool for humanitarian communication.<\/p>\n
\n
<\/p>\n
In the union of friendship
\nand love, the sound of peace will resonate throughout the world. Let peace come
\ndown to the heart of the violence-torn world.<\/p>\n

After rediscovering
\nshortwave listening about a year ago, I eventually came across your programs in
\nEnglish and French and quickly made them part of my listening routine, as often
\nas time and reception conditions allowed.<\/p>\n
\n
<\/p>\n
Hearing the news as told by
\nyour station became especially important after the Russian invasion of Ukraine,
\ngiven your geographic proximity to the conflict. The different segments of your
\nbroadcasts provide meaningful and fascinating insights into varying facets of
\nRomanian science, history, life and culture. It’s something I wouldn’t really
\nbe able to hear anywhere else.<\/p>\n
\n
<\/p>\n
I listen with a modest
\ncity-dweller’s setup: an MLA-30+ loop antenna used indoors connected to a
\nTecsun PL-990x or an RSPdx software-defined radio. My equipment sometimes isn’t
\nenough to overcome challenging reception conditions when they occur – whether
\nit’s local RF interference, a temperamental sun, or both! – but I make do.<\/p>\n
\n
<\/p>\n
During the current B22
\nseason, I listen to your English program mainly on 7410 kHz at 0400 UTC. It is
\nmuch more likely to be heard here than 6020 kHz during the same time period.
\nAlthough your French program at 0200 UTC isn’t directed at my location, I am
\ndelighted whenever I can hear it. Again, 7410 kHz has been much more likely to
\nbe received here than 5990 kHz.<\/p>\n
\n
<\/p>\n
In any event, many thanks
\nfor your broadcasts. You are an important voice and I very much look forward to
\nhearing you whenever I can.<\/p>\n

Today’s hit Let It Be
\nGood And Beautiful is message sounds really good! It was a nice sound
\ntoo, traditional but also modern!<\/p>\n
\n
<\/p>\n
The music performed by Radio
\nRomania’s Big Band was fantastic! It sounded really nice over short-wave too. I
\nimmediately went back and listened to it again before moving on to the next
\npart of the show!! I normally don’t like jazz but the more mellow jazz like the
\npicks from this show I can’t help but adore! It was really nice to hear other
\nlisteners’ opinions on the World Radio Day topic. Thank you for reading my
\nmessage out too! The Violin playing at the end was very impressive, a true
\nvirtuoso for sure!<\/p>\n
