Dear FRS Friends,

We’d like to inform you about our upcoming broadcast.
That will take place next Sunday October 29th between 09:52- 14:35 CET (wintertime!). Frequencies: 7700//9300 (alt. 9330/9335 kHz).
Mind you: due to circumstances 6185 kHz will be off but instead the complete programming will be aired (repeated) a week later (on 6185) on Sunday November 5th between 09:52- 14:35 CET.

Of course there will be Internet streams. The full schedule is to be read below.

The new FRS-Holland website is still under construction but work is progressing!
Please be patient. We do the best we can. It’s a very time consuming job.

We offer a total of 9 different QSL cards printed in full color on heavy quality paper.
Since this Summer we have a brand new sticker showing our station logo.
Write to: P.O.Box 2702, 6049 ZG Herten, the Netherlands.

Make a note on your calendar: our traditional Seasonal broadcast is scheduled for Sunday December 17th.

26 Oct. 1989
+ GBR. Leyton 92.0 FM. LWR is on air today
+ GBR. Bromley. This is the day Radio Argus London starts looking around at other FM channels, following the LWR problem. As Argus is on 92.0 FM every weekday, while Radio Free London is only on-air Saturday evenings and Rock FM [RFM], only Sundays, Argus suffers most, particularly as their ‘engineer’ has nowhere near the intelligence or skill of the other two stations and the signal is thus a lot weaker. Radio Argus London tries out RFM’s old 94.3 mHz channel, and is to also experiment with 99.9 and 99.6 mHz. Around this time the MW aerial is damaged, so all Argus’ programmes have been on FM for a while, the FM rig is also getting low in power.
Please send in aamendments and additions for inclusion.
I hope people are enjoying these posts?
