I hope the admins will allow a little indulgence here, but I have noticed outside of the two decades an interesting coincidence…
—
02 Jul. 1966 GBR. London. The British government publishes the Marine etc., Broadcasting [Offences] Bill, which will make unlicensed broadcasts from ships and Marine structures illegal. Supplying or advertising of (and on) such stations will also be illegal.
—
02 Jul. 2000 GBR. Ramsgate harbour. On 1575 kHz MW. A test broadcast is made of Laser from Dave the Fish’s boat, using the Argus (ex-Jackie) rig, while Dave’s is being repaired. Further broadcasts follow, with reception noted in Suffolk and Belgium. This is possibly the only time a Radio Jackie built rig has seen offshore use. The aerial is a ‘birds’ nest’ between two masts, and the earth is a wire attached to two dan buoys over the side in the water.
—
I have no problem with posting this as Dave the Fish is now safe from the dti/ofcom, having sadly passed away, he was behind a lot of the tenders for the free Radio Caroline, ran his own station [yet another Laser] 🙂 and did shows for Argus as well as others. RIP Dave, you did a great job.

I hope to get another lot of details transferred to the base document on Friday, while there will always be days when nothing happened [or was reported], especially in the earlier days of the two decades, hopefully at least in the 1980’s I will be able to get more entries added in.
Finally, more MW frequencies seem to be becoming available, so hopefully the circuit diagram will be attach? 🙂

FRS Summer Splash 2023 from July 23 2023

Dear FRS Friends!

The time has finally come… After a (too…) long break, FRS-Holland will return to the airwaves next July/August. A combination of circumstances forced us to be inactive for more than 6 months. We do regret this inactivity but: with new energy we will soon return to the shortwave airwaves. Good news: all familiar FRS voices will join: Jan, Mike, Bert, Dave & Peter V.

Important: our website frsholland.nl will be off line for a while because we switch to a new provider. That implies we will build a new site starting in July/ August. At the same time you cannot check our website for the latest details regarding the FRS Summer Splash. In this mail we will supply the most important information, share it with any radio friend/ colleague!
We hope those who run a blog will share the info with their readers. Thanks in advance!!

FRS Summer Splash

Following last year’s successful edition, we hope you will also enjoy the upcoming one. Our schedule: 3 weeks in a row, a 2 hour broadcast.

Sunday July 23rd 18:59- 21:04 UTC/ 20:59- 23:04 CEST
Sunday July 30th 18:59- 21:04 UTC/ 20:59- 23:04 CEST
Sunday August 6th 18:59- 20:59 UTC/ 20:59- 23:04 CEST

All programmes will be thematic including various radio related items. Don’t miss it!

Frequencies

Frequencies will be 6185 kHz & 7700//5800 (or 5790) kHz. Last year we experienced some difficulties with a suitable 5.8 MHz frequency, so it’s hard to give you the exact frequency. But it will be close to (or on) 5800 kHz.

Streams

Of course there will be streams as well in the week after the shortwave broadcasts.

FRSonline.dds.net

Wednesday July 26th/ Friday July 28th both from 19:59- 22:04 CEST (=18:59- 21:04 BST)
Tuesday August 1st/ Friday August 4th both from 19:59- 22:04 CEST (=18:59- 21:04 BST)
Wednesday August 9th/ Friday August 11th both from 19:59- 22:04 CEST (=18:59- 21:04 BST)

http://laut.fm/jukebox
Last year our streams were running on Thursday & Sunday following the shortwave broadcast. Unfortunately we haven’t received conformation about dates/ times. We prefer the same schedule
as last year. If so, then have a look below. Realize: it’s not for sure! So listen to the SW shows for the latest info regarding Laut FM streaming.

Thursday July 27th 16:00- 18:00 UTC/ 18:00- 20:00 CEST
Sunday July 30st 10:00- 12:00 UTC/ 12:00- 14:00 CEST
Thursday August 3rd 16:00- 18:00 UTC/ 18:00- 20:00 CEST
Sunday August 6th 10:00- 12:00 UTC/ 12:00- 14:00 CEST
Thursday August 10th 16:00- 18:00 UTC/ 18:00- 20:00 CEST
Sunday August 13th 10:00- 12:00 UTC/ 12:00- 14:00 CEST

New stickers

Last but not least: there are brand new stickers available with our station logo. Printed on quality paper and in full colour. Of course only available via POBox 2702.

Hopefully we will meet in a few weeks’ time on the shortwave bands! Enjoy the 2023 Summer.

73s, the FRS Team (Jan, Bert, Mike, Dave, Brian & Peter)
