FRS Holland to repeat last Sunday's broadcast

Dear FRS Friends,

As a result of a geomagnetic storm, last Sunday's traditional 'late August' broadcast wasn't received very well within our target area.

For that reason we repeat the full broadcast next Sunday September 2nd.
Full information is to be read on our website. Just use the link below! Details about our web streams are included.
http://www.frsholland.nl/20-latest-news/121-frs-on-air-sunday-september-2nd.html

Today (Friday August 31st) sees our 'official' 38th birthday. Exactly 38 years ago- August 31st 1980 just before 10 o'clock FRS signed on on 6250 kHz.

FRS-Holland: 38 years of short wave free radio! Tune in next Sunday, it'll be worth while.....
All the best!

Peter Verbruggen on behalf of the FRS team.

Last Sunday FRSH used 7700 & 6275 kHz. Broadcast from 1752-2150UTC. Let's hope for better reception conditions this Sunday.
