Dear FRS Friend,
Following lengthy preparations the time has come to celebrate 30 years of FRS-Holland on SW.
Next Sunday October 31st we kick off with the first out of a total of 3 different broadcasts. The FRS Anthology !
Factual, accurate, ups and downs….countless extracts, former
presenters, listeners’ contributions, a competition,fact files, the
FRS Story ánd great 80s music. Next Sunday in part 1 we will feature 1980- 1987. The first eventful 7 years.
Here’s the schedule:
08.52- 15.00 UTC 7600//5800 kHz
09.00-11.00 UTC and 12.00- 16.00 UTC 6005 kHz
That means that between 11.00-12.00 UTC there won’t be any signal on 6005 kHz. As from 12.00 UTC onwards 6005 is back and will be one hour behind of 7600//5800 kHz.
The October 31st broadcast will be streamed between 14:52- 21:00 UTC/ 15:52- 22:00 CET via http://nednl.net:8000/frsh.m3u
The period 1988- 2010 will be featured in part 2 (late November) and part 3 (December).
We have received quite a number of contributions. If you feel you want to be part of the celebrations with your personal FRS memories:
you can still do so as we can include that in one of the two
broadcasts which follow after the October 31st one.
Of course we have special QSLs for the three broadcasts…one based on the 80s, one on the 90s and one on the 00s.
Hope to have your company next Sunday…it will be an unforgettable
Sunday. October 31st 2010: 30 Years of FRS-Holland on SW!

“Although we are all disappointed that Radio St. Helena had to cancel its annual Radio St. Helena Day broadcast on 11,092.5 kHz, I have been informed that there will be a substitute transmission one week later from Pirate Radio St. Helena.
The faux Radio St. Helena plans to operate on the familiar 11092.5 kHz at 2300 UT on Saturday, October 16th. You can contact the station during its program by using the following e-mail address: piratesainthelena @ gmail.com The station is busy building a special dipole antenna designed for just this transmission so reception should be good provided propagation cooperates.
The faux Radio St. Helena is preparing its own special QSL for the occasion. All correct reports will be verified with a special Radio St. Helena Day electronic attachment. Send your report to: piratesainthelena @ gmail.com
Good luck!”
