Many thanks to SWLing Post contributor, David Iurescia (LW4DAF), who shares information about a new survey via Radio Romania International:

PERSONALITY OF THE YEAR 2015 ON RRI
2015-11-14 16:21:00

Dear friends, RRI continues its traditional polling of listeners on short wave, the Internet and social media, with a new challenge.

We would like to ask you which person you think left their imprint on the world in a positive way in 2015. We are preparing to designate, based on your options, “The Personality of the Year 2015 on RRI”.

We also want to ask you why you picked that particular person. It could be a politician, a trendsetter, a businessman, an athlete, an artist, a scientist, or even a regular person with a special story. It’s up to you!

You can send your answers, as usual, by commenting on our website, at rri.ro, by e-mail at [email protected], on our Facebook, Google+, Twitter and LinkedIn profiles, by fax at 00.40.21.319.05.62, or by post, at 60-64, General Berthelot street, sector 1, Bucharest, zip code 010165 (PO Box 111), Romania.

The “Personality of the year 2014 on RRI” was the young Pakistani human rights militant Malala Yousafzai, a co-winner of the Nobel Peace Prize.

“The Personality of the year 2015 on RRI” will be announced on January 1st 2016.

LISTENERS’ DAY 2015 on RRI

Dear friends, on Sunday, November 1st 2015, RRI celebrates Listeners’ Day. As usual, we invite you to be an active part of our special program airing on that day. The topic of this year’s edition is refugees. We have all followed the news about the refugee crisis, and have seen that hundreds of thousands of people risk their lives leaving their native countries in search of a better life in Europe. This wave has become a big challenge for Europe, for European values, the labor market, economic growth, and the process of integration into society. However, no one can ignore that each refugee has his or her own personal story, which sometimes is very sad.

Therefore Listeners’ Day on RRI invites you to share your opinion on the refugee issue, and to tell us stories you know about refugees. We are sure that many of you know such stories, since the refugee crisis affects the whole world.

We are looking forward to receiving your pre-recorded or written contributions, which you can send by e-mail or by Facebook and of the other social networks on which RRI has a profile. Our address is RRI, 60-64 General Berthelot street, sector 1 Bucharest, PO BOX 111, postal code 010165, e-mail: [email protected]

Shortwave Radio Recordings: Radio Romania International

1 Reply

For your listening pleasure: 1.5 hours of Radio Romania International, starting with RRI’s English language service.

This recording was made on May 25, 2015 starting around 00:00 UTC on 9730 kHz. I used the TitanSDR Pro software defined receiver and skyloop external antenna to make this off-air recording. In truth, this is one of the few remaining broadcasters that targets eastern North America; even a simple portable radio would have sufficed.

Screen capture of the Elad FDM-S2 recording RRI’s interval signal

For your listening pleasure: one full hour of Radio Romania International‘s English language service.

This recording was made on April 23 at 00:00 UTC on 9730 kHz. I used my Elad FDM-S2 software defined receiver to make this recording.

As you can see from the screenshot of the Elad spectrum display above, Radio Romania International’s signal was quite strong. Earlier in the day, the FDM-S2 could also easily hear the RRI English service on 11,700 kHz, which was much weaker at my location here in the eastern US.
