FRSH wants your memories


Hello FRS-Holland Friends, Already some time ago we informed you about the upcoming FRS 30 Years celebrations.
In the meantime we have received a number of contributions, we feel the on air celebration would be incomplete without our listeners' input!
Of course contributions from colleague SW stations are also very much appreciated.

Still we haven't heard from many listeners whose contribution would be much appreciated. We are talking about many faithful listeners who already tuned long time ago.

For us at FRSH your contribution is 'invaluable' !!
So we once again appeal on you....

Preparations are in an advanced stage and we once again invite you as FRSH listener to participate. Instead of writing a letter following a broadcast, we kindly ask for your personal FRS memories.

Either you put them
1) on a sheet of paper or send them by mail and
2) most wanted: record your personal message and send an mp3 audio file.

All listeners' contributions will be collected and together it will be our anthology of 30 years of SW broadcasts. When did you hear us for the first time, what was your favorite 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 could be part of your personal FRS contribution.

Send your contribution to frs@frsholland.nl or PO Box 2702, 6049 ZG Herten, the Netherlands.

All the best from all of us at FRSH.
On behalf of the FRS Staff,
Peter Verbruggen

Ofcom helps Spanish government catch pirates .... maybe?

"28 July 2010, Digital Spy By Colin London
There is a crackdown going on at the moment in Spain. Here is an example of a station website:
http://www.shoutfm.net/
"DTI Investigations into Pirate Radio Broadcasting in Spain. This website address has been recorded as being property of Shout FM a English speaking radio station broadcasting on the Costa Blanca,Spain.
The Spanish government has requested the support of British DTI and OFCOM officials to help with the shutting down of pirate radio stations and prosecution of the broadcasters involved with the stations." "

(via Mike Terry, radioanoraksuk)

This is curious. Firstly, it is many years since the DTI had anything to do with catching radio pirates ... not since the days of Laser 558 in the 80s. The DTI does not exist anymore! Also the website lists a number to ring for Ofcom, but a check on Ofcom's website does not have this number listed! I've not tried ringing it so I don't know if it genuine or not! Why would the Spanish authorities feel the need to call in Ofcom to track down radio pirates in their country? I wonder if this is genuine or is a hoax or joke?? Finally I looked on Digital Spy and couldn't see this story... the plot thickens.

Radio Nova name tunes into nostalgia for original station

Despite a struggling marketplace, a new broadcasting venture is set to take to the air. Radio Nova was a pirate radio phenomenon in Dublin in the early 1980s; from September, a new entity with the same name will return to the airwaves.

This time the station is licensed and, while it's a smart move by the promoters to cash in on the goodwill associated with the name, some Radio Nova originals are not impressed.

Pirate radio documentary

Tune into the BBC Radio 4 on Wednesday at 11am (1000 UTC) for "Do Pirates Rule the Air Waves?"

"Britain has been listening to pirate radio since the 1960s and today it is reported that there are more illegal broadcasters than ever. Former pirate DJ Trevor Nelson investigates the current scene."

More information: http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00t28d4

The 30 minutes programme is only on FM, not 198 kHz long wave (which has Test Match cricket commentary)

It should also be online and listen again.
