FRS Holland October 2012

Dear FRS Friends,

Summer has gone and autumn is ruling. Propagation conditions have reached to a satisfactory level.
Time to expand some activity. In preparation to full programming, we have planned a test on 7600 kHz/ 39 metres
next Sunday October 14th 07:52- 10:00 UTC/ 09:52- 12:00 CEST.
We are understandably curious about reception on 7600 kHz.
We’d love to hear from you, either by mail [frs@frsholland.nl] or via POBox 2702, 6049 ZG Herten, the Netherlands.
FRS-Holland will take to the air with full programming on Sun October 28th 08:52- 14:30 UTC/ 09:52- 15:30 CET.
That day winter time will come into force. In the afternoon there will be an audio stream via Internet starting at 15:52 CET.

More news in the upcoming weeks.

73s, Peter Verbruggen on behalf of the FRS Team

Radio Mercur Revival streams online today

Many will have seen this on various boards, also just posted in Hans Knot’s latest report:

If you haven’t yet anything booked for July 31 you are very welcome to join us at the Radio Mercur Revival Day in Dragör, Denmark on July 31st . A number of former Radio Mercur staff members will be gathering at the Dragör Museum where there is a 1950s exhibition and there will be broadcasts of Radio Mercur during the day from 0600 to 2400 local time/CET (0400 to 2200 UTC/GMT). Apart from old Radio Mercur recordings there will also be live broadcasts from the museum.

The programmes will be broadcast over a temporary transmitter operating on 99.4 MHz on top of the SAS Radisson Hotel in Copenhagen – one of the highest buildings in the city. It is also possible to listen via our web streams which will be announced on www.scandinavianoffshoreradio.com before we start.

I have just checked the site and the streams came online today.

The Swedish Radio Archive site has an excellent page with lots of audio on Radio Mercur, indeed the whole site is worth exploring.
