Dear FRS Friend,
Due to the rather weird propagation conditions last Sunday, FRS-Holland will repeat he final & 3rd FRS 30th Anniversary broadcast
next Sunday March 6th 2011.
Next Sunday March 6th we will feature the period 1998- 2010. Mind you: we will once again kick off at already 07.52 UTC=08.52 CET.
On an alternative 48 mb frequency, the final hour will be repeated plus an additional hour. Frequency is yet unknown.
We are understandably curious to receive your letters and mails. That’s very important for us and that’s the only way in which
you can show your respect and interest. So far we are happy with last Sunday’s response.
All Anniversary mail will be handled in the upcoming period. Be sure: all correct reports will be verified and all letters answered.
Here’s the schedule:
07.52- 14.00 UTC 6221 kHz
09.00- 11.00 UTC 48 metres
Webstream: the stream will be on between 14.52- 21.00 UTC. Surf to nednl.net:8000/frsh.m3u.
A special thank you to each and everyone spreading the news about our Anniversary broadcasts (people who run blogs etc.).
Finally a question: is there anybody whose report/letter for October 31st and/or November 28th was returned to sender?
One of our loyal listeners tried twice to send a letter (with the correct address!) and this was for completely unknown reasons returned to sender!
If so, please let us know by mail!!
73s, on behalf of the FRS staff (Peter V., Jan van Dijk, Paul Graham, Dave Scott, Brian & Bobby Speed)

We just got the confirmation from The Swedish Post and Telecom Agency (PTS)that our application for MW 1512 kHz and SW 6060 kHz has been approved. On March 8 at 0848 UTC/GMT (0948 CET) we will start by broadcasting the opening of offshore station Radio Nord just as it was aired on this date in 1961. We will also make some short test transmissions on these frequencies before our regular programme starts. Power will be 1 kW on 1512 kHz and 10 kW on 6060kHz. The MW tx is located at Kvarnberget, Vallentuna some 35 km from Stockholm city and the SW tx outside the town of Sala.
If you catch our signal please comment in our blog http://www.radionordrevival.blogspot.com and let us know how well you can hear us in your area. QSL cards will be available later. (Ronny Forslund, ARC/Radio Nord Revival, March 3, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
