Dear FRS Friends,
If you have just joined our address book and this is the first mail you are receiving, be welcome as member of the FRS family!
Next Sunday (June 19th) FRS-Holland will be on air with full programming. Opposite to our usual broadcasts, this one will take place in the evening hours between 16:52- 22:00 UTC/ 18:52- 24:00 CEST.
FRS-Holland will be on 7685kHz avoiding 7600 and 7595 interference during the first part of the broadcast.
7685 isn’t affected by adjacent channels being used by other stations. Especially during the last part of the broadcast it will be interesting if & how signals will be received to the east (Russia, Ukraine etc.).
We will take our time…it’ll be an ‘old fashioned’ long FRS broadcast: 5 hours!!. Our full staff will be involved including Paul Graham who was absent for quite some time. This time we will deviate from the usual schedule: 3 blocks of resp.
60s, 70s and 80s tracks, a DX Show and a show with mostly tunes. We will handle no letters, there’s no Phrase that Pays,
the music comes first! Although each show will include 1 or 2 short radio related items !
We like to take this opportunity to say a big thank you to all of you who responded to our brief evening tests May 22nd (7685).
These two 15 min. tests were widely heard across Europe and beyond. For 30 minutes we received some 30 reports.
And last but not least: we will soon start replying to the many, many listeners who responded to one or more of our 30th Anniversary
broadcasts back in October & November 2010 and February 2011.
FRS has produced a special & informative commemorative 30th Anniversary booklet which will be available to each and everyone who
sent a report/ letter. This booklet is almost finished. So please have a little more patience, you will get your special QSL card(s) and the booklet.
Thanks for your patience and understanding!!
Hope you are able to tune in next Sunday. We hope the full June 19th shows will go out via the Internet one week later, Sunday June 26th.
More news about that will follow.
73s, Peter Verbruggen (on behalf of the entire FRS staff)
