Jose Socorro Soeiro Maranhao, Brazil “Dear friends of the English Service of RRI, my name is Jose Socorro Soeiro Maranhao. Im Brazilian, 46 years old, Im short wave radio listening since 1988, and Im an old admirer of your station, since the times of your extinct Portuguese language section. It is a great joy for me to be able to still capture your wonderful station here in Brazil via shortwave band! The short waves are the wonder of radio! I would like to receive more information about your station, and your beautiful country, such as stickers, broadcast schedule, post cards, and any material about Transylvania region. Other souvenirs from your station would also be appreciated, I will be very grateful. I hope this report will be useful for your technical department. It has not been possible to specify with accuracy the program details, because of the hard propagation at that moment. Best regards.
Grant Skinner, UK “Radio Romania Intl is one of the most popular radio broadcasts in the world. Even with the invention of the worldwide web, listening to RRI on shortwave stands apart because it provides some of the best “unfiltered news and content to be found. The joy of shortwave listening is that I dont need expensive equipment, a connection to the internet, an elaborate antenna or even AC mains power. All I need to listen to RRI is a few batteries.
Richard Cook, UK “Hope you had a nice weekend and a nice summer. Its been a mixture of sunshine and showers here during the summer, with highs of 21 C. Hope you have a great week and a great September.
Sahadot Hossain, Bangladesh “RRI broadcasts are excellent and transmission very nice to listeners all over the world. I am a regular shortwave listener of RRI. Your programmes give me pleasure and knowledge. RRI is my most favourite listening station, your programmes are very attractive and informative. We can get a lot of information from your programmes and enjoy it very much.
Muneer K P, UAE “Greetings from Sharjah, UAE. Very glad to send this mail regarding my Reception Report on RRIs ‘Travellers Guide and ‘Guests programmes heard on 9540 kHz. Quite nice programmes I always listen to. In this edition of Travellers Guide I heard many interesting things on Bram Stokers famous novel ‘Dracula historical scenes. Thanks and regards.
Sinichirou Morii, Japan “This is my 48th reception report to your broadcasting station since 2012. Yes, 4 years have passed since I returned to listening to SW and MW broadcasts. Thank you for your program that does not come in tired during these 4 years! I would like you to continue your English broadcast for many years to come. By the way, this years summer was the worst summer for me, because my father died on August 2nd. Therefore, I could not listen to the radio almost at all this month. But still, to listen to the radio, my heart will be healed!
