FRS’ 39th Anniversary next Sunday

Dear FRS Friends,

A bit late but still in time…next Sunday FRS-Holland hopes to celebrate its 39th anniversary!
All details are to be found on our website:
http://www.frsholland.nl/20-latest-news/133-frs-holland-celebrates-its-39th-anniversary.html

Programming on 7700//5810 kHz will commence at 16:52 UTC/ 18:52 CEST.
Last July conditions were a bit disappointing, we hope for the better next Sunday evening.
In contrast with previous years, we will pay much attention to our anniversary with lots of
memories, archive recordings and…great music.

Thanks to all of you who wrote in for our July 28th (repeat August 11th) broadcast(s).
All e-mail/ snail mail will be handled within the upcoming weeks.
Hopefully we will meet next Sunday! Your support remains vital to us!!

73s, Peter Verbruggen on behalf of the FRS team.

Pirate Hunt 2019

The organizers of the Pirate Hunt competition has decided this year to publish the results of the competition without the rankings. It has been alleged that listeners with SDR receivers are in a better position than listeners with normal receivers, so in order to avoid unnecessary displeasure, we decided to solve the problem this way. Many thanks to all participants.

When we first decided to run the competition, our idea was to have a nice Easter activity without strict rules. Just relaxing and having fun. Over the years, perhaps the right criticisms have been made of competition: our choices were to either renew the competition or put the competition to a break. Since both of the organizers do not organize competitions for the day job and we noticed that our original idea is disappearing into the requirements jungle. So far we have decided to put the competition on hold.

We warmly thank all the competitors who have participated over the years, as well as those who thankfully published our competition announcements on their website. Thanks and FFFR!

Pirate Hunt is not organized in the 2020
