Exactly 110 years ago, on 6 June 1912, the Renda head forester, Baron Albrecht von Behr, handed over Moricsala – one of Latvia's natural gems – to the Riga Naturalists' Society for management and supervision, which is why this date is considered the birthday of the Moricsala Nature Reserve. This beautiful anniversary was marked in Moricsala in an original way – by broadcasting a radio signal that could be picked up by radio amateurs anywhere in the world.
Latvian radio amateurs were operating in Moricsala for the first time. Radio amateur Ervīns Kristiņš told Latvian Television: "We are taking part in a worldwide activity, under list number 062, reserves and territories, which is why we came here. (...) If someone has heard us even in Antarctica, they can check our website, and over these few days, 2,000 people have visited the site." (...)
