--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
FRS 30 years
2010 is a very special year for all at FRSH: 30 years on the air!  We will be celebrating this later in 2010, presumably in October. It is our wish to receive as many personal memories as possible (especially) from dedicated FRS listeners!

Most personal is when you record a 1- 2 minute recording (English or German) with your very own memories: When did you hear us for the first time, what was (is) your favourite show, when did you get your first QSL, how much did you listen to FRS, any special on air moments you remember? All this info will be part of your personal FRS contribution.  Any serious contribution will be rewarded later this year. That is a promise!

All listener's contributions will be collected and together it will be our anthology of 30 years of SW broadcasts along with our very own memories. Btw: if you cannot record a message, please put your contribution on paper (POBox 2702) or send us a mail .

It sounds a bit weird but w'd like to receive your contribution as soon as possible. There's a lot to prepare and having contributions at an early stage really helps… we count on you…an mp3 would be easy, isn't it?

Contact: FRS-Holland, POBox 2702, 6049 ZG Herten, The Netherlands

Most popular pirates in London

London Pirates Survey 2009 - Survey Results

Over 600 people completed the London Pirates survey for 2009 and we are pleased to finally announce the results.

Please click here to see the results.

It's clearly been a great year for several of London's stations with stations like Flex making a massive comeback and Ice Cold making significant improvements.

Our previous winner back in 2007 was Point Blank by a fairly significant margin and it's good to see that they are still going very strongly this year. Despite having dropped down a little it seems that some other stations are now upping their game to compete by delivering new levels of sound quality and professionalism.

The longevity and perseverance of Kool FM also shows that they are still clearly big in the game when it comes to attracting listeners! Combining points from all categories gives us this year's overall winner Flex, second place goes to Ice Cold and third place goes to Point Blank.

Teenager's pirate station raided again

An Ottawa, Canada, teen’s pirate MIX FM 91.9 radio station went off the air — again — Friday after police and government officials raided his father’s hotel.

RCMP and Industry Canada officials arrived at the Saade International Hotel on Bank St. in Gloucester to shut it down at 9 a.m. Jayhaed Saade, 14, had been on the local airwaves off and on for the past couple months.

The unlicensed station kept spinning songs while police searched the hotel for Saade’s transmitter.

Saade had hidden some of the equipment and wouldn't tell police — or his father Georges Saade — where it was located.

Spain to shut down up to 3,000 illegal radio stations

Spain’s planned State Radio Communications Agency has been tasked with evaluating and closing down up to 3,000 illegal radio stations throughout Spain. In some regions of Spain, especially the major cities and along the Coast, illegal ‘pirate’ stations outnumber the legal frequencies by two, sometimes three to one. Thus, those that are legal have been complaining to the Government for years of their loss in revenue and wanting action to be taken.

The agency has been created following pressure by the AERC, the Spanish Association of Commercial Radio. They have already presented a list of broadcasters they consider to be outside the law including 482 on the Canaries, 387 in Andalucía, 338 in the Valencia region, 183 in Cataluña, 144 in Madrid and 143 in the Basque Country. In addition there are many so-called Municipal Radios that are breaking the law as they are run by companies and not by the local Town Hall.

Some of the local English-language stations around the Costa Blanca have been operating without the correct business licences and may face closure sooner rather than later, mainly because they interfere with and impact the revenue potential of the Spanish broadcasters. The coverage area of some Spanish broadcasters has been reduced by the setting-up of these English-language stations.

Central Government has said it is to draw up a map of Spanish radio, which will allow a cleaning up of the FM band followed by the quick and firm closure of those broadcasters who lack the correct permissions. The State Radio Communications Agency is scheduled to be set up by 1 June, so the stations have a few months to get their official paperwork in order. But the illegal operators complain that no new concessions for licences have been made available and that many of them have submitted applications for licences but have not heard back from the commission.
