Excerpts from some of the letters and messages sent in by RRI's listeners.
"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
