FRS Holland 28th of December

Dear FRS Friends,

I N V I T A T I O N

Following our November 2nd broadcast a few weeks ago, FRS-Holland will again take to the airwaves over the X-Mas Holiday Season.
December 28th FRS-Holland will continue a long time tradition. And that means we invite you- the listener– to participate. Forward your very own personal New Year Greetings to the Free Radio Service Holland and we will make sure it’ll be read out during our broadcast.
You can dedicate your greetings to friends etc. but you can also make a ‘general NY Greeting. It can be written or (preferably!) taped (cassette, CD, MD or MP3 file) and send to our P.O.Box 2702, 6049 ZG Herten in the Netherlands. Of course the easy & quick way is by sending an e-mail to or . You can add something special to our December 28th broadcast by participating. So….don’t hesoitate and take part in the FRS Party that day. It’ll be great fun. Make sure your contribution reaches us before December 5th. We are looking forward hearing from you !!! Tune on the 28th…it’ll be great fun !!!

December 28th FRSH will be on 6220 for at least 4 hours. In addition we hope to be on a different frequency as well, perhaps not our full programming. Pxs will be presented by Jan van Dijk doing a 2008 Free Radio Review in his German Show. Paul Graham will be doing another classic FRS Golden Show playing great 60s/ 70s stuff as well as a feature on a landbased pirate radio station from years gone by. Peter Verbruggen will look back to what happened in the past on December 28th (Day Calendar) en plays a mix of 80s/90s/00s records in FRS Magazine. He will also host a 45 min. FRS Goes DX edition with the latest news from the wonderful world of wireless . Mike Anderson’s DX Welle will feature a mix of DX News and music. During the pxs we will read out November mail and New Year’s Greetings.
There’s a listener’s competition and ‘the Phrase that Pays’. In addition a 15 minute Joop ter Zee tribute will be aired. Pxs will most likely commence at 08.00 UTC/ 09.00 CET and last till 12.00 UTC/ 13.00 CET. Frequency is 6220 kHz. As said, part of the shows will be repeated on a different frequency, most likely in the afternoon. That day FRS will also be heard via the Internet, perhaps pxs will be repeated a number of times. We will send more mails December and a few days before the broadcast we hope to reveal the afternoon frequency and time-slot.

By now all back mail plus all letters/mail from the November 2008 broadcast (!!) have been handled. That implies the all new QSLs from our TX Series have been forwarded to the FRS listeners who responded.

Christmas Day Dec. 25th there might be another surprise when FRS-Holland will be co-operating with two other well-known (and long-serving) short wave
stations. Details about programming and frequency will be announced as soon as possible.
