FRS Holland to celebrate 39 years on air

Dear FRS Friends,

A bit late but still in time...on Sunday September 1 FRS-Holland hopes to celebrate its 39th anniversary!

All details are to be found on our website:
http://www.frsholland.nl/20-latest-news/133-frs-holland-celebrates-its-39th-anniversary.html 

Programming on 7700//5810 kHz will commence at 16:52 UTC/ 18:52 CEST.

In July conditions were a bit disappointing, we hope for the better on Sunday evening. In contrast with previous years, we will pay much attention to our anniversary with lots of memories, archive recordings and...great music.

Thanks to all of you who wrote in for our July 28th (repeat August 11th) broadcast(s).  All e-mail/ snail mail will be handled within the upcoming weeks.

Hopefully we will meet on Sunday! Your support remains vital to us!!

Pirate Hunt 2019 diploma


I've received a diploma from the organisers of the Pirate Hunt 2019 for taking part in this year's contest. The event was held at Easter and challenged DXers to log as many pirate stations over a 48 hour period.

Ten competitors from four different countries took part in the competition. The club decided not to publish the results as it was felt listeners who used multiple SDR receivers in different countries would have an unfair advantage from those listening on their home receivers. The names are in random order:

Ismo Kauppi, Lohja, Finland.
UK DXer Paul, Swindon, England.
Rick Random, Raisio, Finland.
Janne Heinikangas, Jyväskylä, Finland.
Staffan Crona, Sweden.
Lennart Weirell, Västerås, Sweden.
Kari Helopaltio, Nurmijärvi, Finland.
Jouni Kilpinen, Helsinki, Finland.
Patrick Robic, Leibnitz, Austria.
Kari Kallio, Lahti, Finland.

They say they won't be holding one next year.  Many thanks to the organisers for arranging the Pirate Hunt 2019.

Cupid Radio eQSL


A sexy eQSL received from Cupid Radio for reception last Saturday evening on 6300 kHz. He was using 500W. In an email he said he hoped to be on air more as "HF is in my blood and I really miss it from time to time." Thanks for the eQSL.

FRS Holland hopes to be on air tomorrow

Dear FRS Friends,

On July 31st we sent out a mail informing about a possible repeat of our July 28th broadcast. That repeat was planned for last Sunday but a faulty 5810 transmitter made us decide to wait another week hoping the rig would be repaired in time.

The current situation is that it's most likely the rig will be repaired for tomorrow. However...most likely is nót 100%!

Anyway, the repeat will take place tomorrow (Sunday August 11th). The time schedule will be the same as  it was two weeks ago: 16:52- 20:55 UTC/ 18:52- 22:55 CEST. Frequencies: either 7700 only or (hopefully!) 7700//5810 kHz.

We are eager to hear from you either via frs@frsholland.nl  or of course P.O.Box 2702, 6049 ZG Herten, The Netherlands.

In three weeks time on Sunday September 1st FRS-Holland hopes to celebrate its 39th anniversary. That will also be a Sunday evening broadcast. Details will follow in the final August week.

Have a good weekend!

73s, Peter Verbruggen on behalf of the FRS crew being Jan, Roger, Mike, Dave, Brian & Bert.
