Dear FRS Friends,
At long last we can report some good news: next Sunday, April 28th FRS-Holland will be on air.
The broadcast will start in the later afternoon (16:52 CEST) because of the more favourable propagation compared with morning/ early afternoon.
Check out for more detailed info (frequencies, etc located at: https://frsholland.nl/latest-news-2/.
Following a 133-day wintersleep FRS-Holland will return on air with its first 2024 broadcast.
The longer absence doesn’t mean we’ve been idle! Our focus has primarily been on a renewed, completely revised website.
Now that task is nearly complete (we still need to add a few years to the history), it’s high time for FRS free radio sounds to resonate on shortwave.
On Sunday, April 28th, we invite you to tune our way. FRSH will be on the air from 14:52 UTC / 16:52 CEST till 19:30 UTC/ 21:30 CEST. Our familiar team (Jan van Dijk, Dave Scott, Bert van Leer, Mike Taylor, Brian & Peter Verbruggen) will provide you with a wonderful Sunday featuring the well-known ingredients: great pop music from the last 60 years, various radio-related items, the daily calendar, DX news, and of course, space for the listeners who responded to our broadcast on December 17th.
Important:
We might not be broadcasting on all the familiar frequencies. No 6185 kHz but instead 5940 kHz. Additionally, a frequency between 9300-9345 kHz, taht will be most likely 9300 kHz (31 mb). 7700 kHz will be most likely on but: in case of absence, 7405 kHz will be the alternative.
On Sunday, May 5th, there will be testing on 13865 kHz at two different times: at 08:00 UTC / 10:00 CEST and 16:00 UTC / 18:00 CEST. Both tests will last one hour.
Hopefully, we’ll meet on April 28th and perhaps also on May 5th. All the best and hope to ‘see’ you soon and hear from you!
And that brings us to another piece of positive news: finally, we van proudly present the brand new FRS-Holland website. No expense or effort has been spared to create an informative website that tells our 40+ years of history. Read our post about the new website: https://frsholland.nl/new-website-online/.
Important: the new website (frsholland.nl) will go online in the course of next Thursday!
We are looking forward to having your company next Sunday! Until then it's goodbye.
73s FRSH team.
