18 april - World Amateur Radio Day

18 април - Международен ден на радиолюбителите

Не липсваха и усмивки... репортаж в новините на БНТ2

"Информационната шатра на радиолюбителите привлича минувачите покрай клетките в столичнrя зоопарк с характерните радиосигнали и пръщене от радиочестоти.

Според Пламен ( LZ3FM ) младите не се вълнуват от радио. Това е причината от БФРЛ да отпразнуват празника си до клетките на приматите в търсене на свежи попълнения в клуба си.

.....И още за животните с любов...." - край на цитата от репортажа

Wikipedia:
The Elenska Basilica or Elensko Basilica (Bulgarian: Еленска базилика, Elenska bazilika) is a large partially preserved late Roman (early Byzantine) Christian basilica in west central Bulgaria. Dating to the 5th–6th century AD, it lies 5 to 6 kilometres (3.1 to 3.7 mi) northeast of Pirdop and 3 kilometres (1.9 mi) from Anton, on the right bank of the Elenska (or Elensko) River (Еленска река, Elenska reka). The initially domeless basilica, which features thick walls and defensive towers, had a dome added in the mid-6th century, during the reign of Justinian I. The church was ruined in the early 18th century, during the Ottoman rule of Bulgaria.

WCA Activation LZ-00002 "Asenova Krepost"

 Asenova Fortress ( also called Petrich) , is a medieval fortress,  located in the Rhodope Mountains,  2km south from the town Asenovgrad, Bulgaria. The fortress has existed since the time of the Thracians, it was rebuilt in the IX century to guard passage to White sea and ensure the Byzantine frontier in this region. The first written evidence of the fortress is from the XI century. This information shows that the fortress possessed its own army and administration. It was conquered by the Crusaders during the Fourth Crusade.  
The fortress existed until 1410, when  destroyed by the invading Ottoman troops.The fortress is called after Bulgarian Tsar Ivan Assen II, who made a number of amendments in order to strengthen it in 1231.

Look at the fortress!
