Selected comments from recent listener letters and e-mails
Ottawa. Ontario, Canada (Robert Gauvin) - Temperatures have begun to fluctuate greatly now that summer is really over. Mornings are very much light jacket weather compared to the rest of the day. The end of summer also means shorter days and better shortwave reception at night. WRMI is actually on my radio listening program every night. A nightly dose of Radio Ukraine, Radio Slovakia and Radio France International is part of my nightly ritual. I am very grateful your station is a rebroadcaster of so many European state broadcasters. Many thanks for your continued service. I heard Radio Slovakia International at 0030 UTC on 11580 kHz with an SIO 544. I used to be a listener to Radio Kiev on a nightly basis in the 80’s. I am grateful your rebroadcasts make Ukraine available on shortwave
Elkridge, Maryland, USA (Bill Harms) - I am able to hear your station here in Maryland on 9395 kHz with a fairly good signal. At 2154 UTC the program was called Son Power Radio in Vero Beach, Florida.
Fomento, Sancti Spiritus, Cuba (Yasmany Machado McCarthy) - En diciembre del 2015 cumplo dos anos de oir WRMI. Uso receptor Sangean ATS505. Los escuche en 7730 kHz a la 0100 UTC con SINPO 55555. En 9955 kHz, escuche a Radio Eslovaquia a las 0345 UTC con SINPO 55555. Tambien en 9955 he escuchado Frecuencia al Dia, Maravillosas Palabras de Vida (SINPO 55555), Viva Miami y otros programas cristianos.
St. Cloud, Minnesota, USA (Justin Wolffing) - I am writing to confirm reception of WRMI on 7570 kHz on September 30, 2015. I tuned my Grundig S350 with its standard whip antenna to 7570 kHz. I heard Brother Stair and the Overcomer Ministry at 0130 UTC. The signal was quite strong.
Mentor, Ohio, USA (Lee Silvi) - I am pleased to report that I was able to hear the new AWR broadcast via WRMI to Cuba on 5950 kHz at 1114-1151 UTC. I realize I’m not in the intended reception pattern, but wanted to try anyway.
Condon, Montana, USA (Barry Brubaker) - Greetings to all staff in the wonderful name of Jesus our Lord.
Kanagawa, Japan (Masaru Sekimoto) - On 7570 kHz at 0945 UTC I heard The Overcomer Ministry. I’m glad to catch your programs Overcomer Ministry and Family Radio. I have a good time to listen to hymns and music. I could understand Bible more and more.
Dagenham, Essex, England (Grant Skinner) - I have pleasure in submitting a reception report after listening to Trunews via WRMI coming out of Okeechobee. The frequency number was 9395 at 0525 UTC on a Grundig Yacht Boy 400 with extendable rod antenna. I have also heard you on 11580 kHz. WRMI Radio provides fully-fledged radio programs which always enliven listeners’ curiosity and emotions. In my mind it is the very fundament criterion to arouse listeners’ intensity and devotion to remain with WRMI.

Your frequency of 11580 kHz is heard very well at my place in the mornings. 9395 kHz frequency is heard some days with fair signal in the mornings. 9955 kHz in the morning is weak.
Wittlohe, Germany (Franz Bleeker) - This report covers your re-broadcasts of programs by Radio Ukraine International on 11580 kHz. Thank you for broadcasting on shortwave -- a medium abandoned by too many European broadcasters. Your transmissions are bringing them back.

Tampa, Florida, USA (Bill Ellenback) - I can’t thank all of your WRMI staff enough for the fabulous tour and hospitality given to us. I never expected to find the nicest people in the world at WRMI, but all I can say it was one of the best fun times in my life. Later I heard WRMI at 10:30 pm Eastern Time on 9955 kHz.
Placetas, Villa Clara, Cuba (Osvaldo Gomez Gonzalez) - Tengo 53 anos y soy tecnico de seguridad y proteccion. Tengo un receptor Sangean. Los escucho en 99565 kHz.

East Aurora, New York, USA (Pete Bentley) - When you consider all the responsibility involved in maintaining an overwhelming transmitter site, aren’t you glad that God makes it quite clear that you can’t take it with you? When it’s time to go, you just float out the door and leave everything running. -- Pete Bentley. No computer. No Internet. No e-mail. No headaches. Just a shortwave receiver.

Central Espana Rep., Matanzas, Cuba (Jose Travieso Blanco) - Cada jueves escucho Antena DX, de veraz lo disfruto al maximo. Quisieran me enviaran lista de horarios y frecuencias, y de ser posible algun material DX aunque sea viejo. En Cuba es dificil conseguir estos impresos.
Pontes e Lacerda, MT, Brasil (Jose Moacir Portera de Melo) - Tengo el placer de escribir nuevamente a vuestra emisora, que sigo escuchando cuando puedo, y que me gusta mucho. Algunos programas son mis preferidos: Antena DX, La Verdad para el Mundo, Blues Radio International, y otros. Y tambien los programas de Radio Praga y Radio Eslovaquia. Me alegra mucho descubrir ahora la frecuencia de 11920 kHz con emisiones de Family Radio y Radio Taiwan Internacional. Estoy escuchando esas dos emisoras. En 9955 kHz he escuchado Acontecer Venezolano, Dios Habla Hoy, y Bible Commentary en ingles con SINPO 45444. Ha sido un placer escuchar el programa. Para mi la onda corta sigue siendo una de las mejores maneras de llevar informacion a las localidades mas remotas del mundo, como en algunas de America Latina. A pesar de los avances tecnologicos, la radio sigue con su mision.

I always enjoy hearing good blues music. From the late 1970’s until the early 1980’s I was a pretty active shortwave listener. However, due to life circumstances I faded away for many years. Now I am returning to shortwave.
