To my English language reader: this was indeed one of the great accomplishments of my career-life. Launching a radio station was never planned, and so even more exciting.

If you ever get there (and you better do it, Baia Mare is the gateway to fabulous Maramures County), pass by their headquarters and say hello to my buddies. They are in downtown Baia Mare.

Thank you, Silviu.
