I listen sometimes to RRI English or Russian
programmes on shortwave. I prefer very much shortwave because of simplicity of
usage and swift availability of many stations (no need to wait for download of
the stream online, preventing swift review of reports and stations). Krzysztof Rybus, Poland
There is a
chance I will meet your country and people on business, and of course that it
is fun to have some better understanding of your country, culture and language.
As a radio amateur, of course it is better to listen to shortwave transmission,
so that’s why I tried to listen to your station directly. I also use my antenna
for shortwave CW (Morse code) transmissions, sometimes with Romania. Marc
Schijven, The Netherlands
In the 1960s I
and my wife were privileged to visit Bucharest in the course of travelling by
train from Budapest to Sofia. Those were difficult times for your country and
people but we were greatly impressed by many large public buildings, parklands
and the collection of art in the Bucharest Art Gallery. Unfortunately, we had
no opportunity to see Romania beyond our views from the train window, but the
countryside we saw appeared most attractive. Edward Fleming, Australia
I enjoy
traditional or folk music from Romania, it is a very interesting musical
landscape by which one can know and feel Romanian culture a little, even if I
cannot understand Romanian. Santiago Wellington, Brazil
Once again, I have to congratulate you on your
excellent and diverse programming in today’s broadcast. The History Show
remains a favourite of mine, and I found the item today about bows and bowmen
and the different styles of drawing very interesting, and especially the fact
that in the past archaeological discoveries of draw rings were considered to be
simply jewelry. Alan Roe, UK
This was
certainly a broadcast that made me hungry. The report about the fish dishes in
The Cooking Show was very descriptive, and it so nice to hear about religious
events in other parts of the world. The report about vegan food in Inside
Romania was equally delicious. Todd Tufo, USA
