FRS Holland's Summer Splash

Dear FRS Listener,

Following last year’s absence due to sad circumstances, we are happy to announce that we are back with our annual Summer Splash.

On Sunday July 26th, August 2nd and 9th FRS-Holland will take to the air . Three weeks in a row, each time on a Sunday evening between 19:00 UTC/ 21:00 CEST until 21:00 UTC/ 23:00 CEST. Opposite to our normal schedule these evenings will contain themed programmes. Remember for instance (from previous editions) specials like Soul Land, Psychedelic, the Summer of Love, Made in Holland, German Underground, Travelling Sounds, Motown Classics, Summer Classics and 1990s.

The first Summer Splash edition took place in the 2020 Summer followed by editions in 2022, 2023 & 2024. We are eager to produce a total of six one hour specials in July and August.

What brings this 2026 edition? Certainly interesting themes with a great variety of music and topics. Sometimes we really like to surprise our listening audience…so make sure you are part of our Summer Splash!

We will be on air on 7700//6400 kHz & 7400 kHz. This time no 5.8 & 9.3 MHz!

Of course another nice QSL card is waiting for you. And when writing to our PO Box, you will receive our colourful sticker with station logo. For only 10 euro (!) we will send you a beautiful poster telling part of our history in pictures. As a bonus we include our 45th anniversary souvenir CD.

Many thanks to the French station Mystery For Joy for sending me this eQSL after I heard the relays via Channel 292 and Woofferton on Saturday.

Irish pirates on medium wave

As many of you will have noticed, there's been a real uptick in activity from Ireland on the medium wave. I thought I would take a run through some of the stations that have been heard recently.

846: Radio North. The station first appeared 40 years ago and is still going strong from the North West of Ireland with a country, gospel and oldies playlist. It recently updated its website https://radionorth.co.uk/

981: Radio Star Country. Another long-running Irish pirate which has been around since the 80s.The station, based in County Monaghan, has a gospel and country playlist. Its website is http://radiostarcountry.com/

1017: Radio Cuckoo. This station is probably more familiar to shortwave listeners as it has been regularly heard on SW for nearly 10 years. More recently the station has been logged on 1017 although not so easy to hear over here.

1206: Radio Daniella. I heard Daniella last night playing a recording of Kiss FM. It puts in a fair signal into the UK after dark, often playing recordings of other stations.

1233: KLAS Radio. This pirate is often well-heard in UK, using the frequency once occupied by Radio Rock Revolution.

1440: Energy Power AM. Probably one of the strongest of the Irish pirates often putting in a great signal after dark on the old Radio Luxembourg frequency. The Dublin pirate has been on air for around 20 years using several frequencies on MW. Keep up to date with them on their  Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/energyam

1530: Radio Rainbow. This station has been heard on both SW and MW rebroadcasting Weekend Music Radio. The WMR relays are heard at weekends during the day on SW and in the evenings on MW.

1575/1593: Coast FM relays. The English-language Coast FM Tenerife relays have been running for a number of years on shortwave and medium wave. 

1593 Kiss AM. This station has been logged this year on 1593 and 1125. I'm told the station is still using 1593 despite Coast FM also using the frequency. Kiss AM has also been heard on shortwave.

Any corrections or stations I've missed out are welcome in the comments.
