Hello everyone!
May is almost at
an end, with its lovely scents and cool breeze. After a rainy couple of weeks,
the weather is picking up, to the extent that we re looking at average
temperatures in the high twenties. With bright and warm days ahead, we are also hoping reception conditions will improve in the region and everyone else, as many of you have signalled a number of related issues.
A word of
appreciation goes to Akira Takei (Japan) who just wrote in to say he loves
listening to our Simply Folk show devoted to Romanian traditional music. We know many of other listeners in your region enjoy our folk segments, which is why we have a 3-minute slot devoted to this genre on a daily basis.
A nice greeting
also came from Cyril MacDonald (Canada), who wrote: By the way, I love the
traditional and modern music played on RRI as well as the very informative
cultural reports frequently heard. I also greatly appreciate the beautiful QSL
