Greetings
friends!
On
May 27 RRI was invited to feature in a special event – the annual meeting of
the Swedish DX Federation, a popular event bringing together DXers from all
over Sweden. It is a highlight event for radio amateurs from this country, which
included and number of side events, presentations and meetings.
We
recall that many years ago (it think it was before 1999) our heads of
department would travel and take part in such events, including in Nordic
countries. It was therefore with great joy that we accepted the invitation
extended by the DX Federation to take part in the event, albeit remotely, via
ZOOM.
On
the sidelines of the DX convention held in the city of Karlsborg, Swedish DXers
got together to exchange views on the latest developments and news in their
field of interest. They attended a number of presentations, including a lecture
about Radio Botswana by one of the participating members who worked there in
the 1980s, a presentation from a former coworkers of Radio Moscow’s Swedish
section and a presentation I myself gave about Radio Romania, our work,
partnerships and projects. Many other activities were held on the sidelines,
including a visit to the radio amateurs HQ in Karlsborg, an auction and a
festive dinner celebrating the 60-year-long history of DX Friends, a support
organization helping the Swedish DX Federation with funding for some of its
projects.
I
felt very welcome in the midst of our Swedish friends and I hope this will be
the latest episode of our extended friendship. As always, we remain open to
suggestions and comments regarding our station’s performance, so don’t hesitate
to contact us!
73!
