FRS Holland plans to repeat broadcast

Dear FRS Friend,

Last Sunday's FRS broadcast suffered from unstable propagation conditions. Some might have enjoyed good reception whereas others' reception was poor. It is commonly known that SW conditions have been poor. Not only during daytime but also sometimes during the evening.

Last Sunday we were received in Cyprus and Mexico (not via SDR) while reception
in areas where 7700 is almost always satisfactory, was poor. Apart from the final 60 min.
when the first show (Bert van Leer) was repeated; that was between 23:00-23:50 CEST (2200-2250 UTC). During that time 7700 was very strong and also 5810 did well.

There might be a repeat next Sunday August 4th or August 11th. At this  moment things
are uncertain. But it's worth while to tune in and give it a try! Same time schedule and same freqs, being 7700//5810 kHz.

Details are still to be read on our site:
http://www.frsholland.nl/20-latest-news/132-frs-on-air-sunday-evening-july-28th.html

Remember there are streams planned for next Thursday, Saturday & Sunday (twice!).
FRS'  39th anniversary will be celebrated on Sunday Sept. 1st. Details will follow in the course of August.

73s,  Peter V. on behalf of the FRS team

Mix Radio International eQSL

North American pirate Mix Radio International sent me this eQSL for reception on 13571U kHz. He is one of the most active US pirates, popping up all the shortwave spectrum. MRI can often be heard in Europe (especially on the higher frequencies).

Last Sunday he was broadcasting on 12140U kHz, where he was also logged in Ukraine. The signal was also picked up on an Kiwi SDR in Ireland.

Free radio and other DX links

I've given the links section on my Shortwave Pirates website (ukdxer.webs.com) a tidy up.

Here you can find many useful links, including to other free radio blogs and radio forums.

There's links to other free radio websites, including a nostalgia category with links to websites featuring pirate radio from the past.

In addition there's categories for general DX websites, SDRs and frequency guides.

If you know of any other useful/interesting websites I might have missed, you can post them in the comments section and I can add them to the list.

Radio Pandora QSL cards

A package was received from Radio Pandora today containing two QSL cards, info sheets and letter. Pandora first took to the airwaves in 1993 with a transmitter built by Apollo Engineering. Operator Steve St John had a few technical problems but in 1995 with help from Bill Lewis of Live Wire Radio was able to get back on the air and has been broadcasting ever since.

Over the years he has also relayed other stations including Radio Joystick, Voice of South Dublin Radio, Pipeline Radio and WRCR.

These days he runs  the transmitter at 85 Watts into a half wave dipole. Although reception has been patchy recently, last Saturday when I heard him the signal was booming in on 6322.5 kHz. A report was emailed to Pandora who sent the QSLs by post.

Thanks Steve.
