FRS Holland repeat broadcast

Dear FRS Friend,
Due to the rather weird propagation conditions last Sunday, FRS-Holland will repeat the final & 3rd FRS 30th Anniversary broadcast next Sunday March 6th 2011.

Next Sunday March 6th we will feature the period 1998- 2010. Mind  you: we will once again kick off at already 07.52 UTC=08.52 CET.

On an alternative 48 mb frequency, the final hour will be repeated plus an additional hour. Frequency is yet unknown.

We are understandably curious to receive your letters and mails. That's very important for us and that's the only way in which you can show your respect and interest. So far we are happy with last Sunday's response.

All Anniversary mail will be handled in the upcoming period. Be sure: all correct reports will be verified and all letters answered.

Here's the schedule:
07.52- 14.00 UTC 6221 kHz
09.00- 11.00 UTC 48 metres

Webstream: the stream will be on between 14.52- 21.00 UTC. Surf to nednl.net:8000/frsh.m3u .

A special thank you to each and everyone spreading the news about our Anniversary broadcasts (people who run blogs etc.).

Finally a question: is there anybody whose report/letter for October 31st and/or November 28th was returned to sender? One of our loyal listeners tried twice to send a letter (with the correct address!) and this was for completely unknown reasons returned to sender!

If so, please let us know by mail!!

73s, on behalf of the FRS staff

(Certainly here the 5800 was fair at best, 7600 only faded in briefly during the whole broadcast while the best frequency was the 6085 relay which was fair-good most of the time. Let's hope 6221 performs better this Sunday. Congratulations to Peter and the rest of the FRSH staff for their hard work in producing this three-part anniversary broadcasts)

Radio Nord revival

We just got the confirmation from The Swedish Post and Telecom Agency (PTS) that our application for MW 1512 kHz and SW 6060 kHz has been approved.

On March 8 at 0848 UTC/GMT (0948 CET) we will start by broadcasting the opening of offshore station Radio Nord just as it was aired on this date in 1961. We will also make some short test transmissions on these frequencies before our regular programme starts.

Power will be 1 kW on 1512 kHz and 10 kW on 6060kHz. The MW tx is located at Kvarnberget, Vallentuna some 35 km from Stockholm city and the SW tx outside the town of Sala.


If you catch our signal please comment in our blog http://www.radionordrevival.blogspot.com/  and let us know how well you can hear us in your area. QSL cards will be available later.

Suspected pirate station raided in West Midlands

Recording equipment believed to be used for pirate radio and cannabis plants have been seized from a Bilston (near Wolverhampton, West Midlands) house.

The plants and equipment were found in a raid by West Midlands Police.
A police spokesman said officers executed a warrant under the Misuse of Drugs Act at a property in Wellington Road at around 1130 GMT on Tuesday (Feb 8).

Two men, aged 55 and 33, were arrested on suspicion of being concerned in the production of cannabis, and bailed pending further inquiries.

He added officers had seized nine cannabis plants and hydroponics equipment as well as a number of computers, webcams and music mixing decks.

An address in Castlecroft Avenue, Castlecroft, was subsequently searched and hydroponics equipment found.

The radio equipment was handed over to enforcement officers from the Office of Communications (Ofcom) who will decide on any further action.

Borderhunter Summer Meeting 2011

Hi Free Radio and pirate fans!
It's already time for another one! From the 1st to the 3th of July 2011, everyone of distinction in the scene meets once again - both listeners and stations!

On this particular week-end, it's provisionally planned that the next Borderhunter summer meeting (well-known and well-loved across Europe) will take place in the first weekend of July.

Only those who already know about this fantastic meeting, know what the home stayers miss.

As in every year, the question of where to stay overnight is no problem! You can stay in a car, tent, caravan, hotel, B&B or at the accommodation at the camp site (complete with beds, but bring a sleeping bag) - everything can be brought along, as everything is best provided for. The meeting begins officially on Saturday, as usual. In addition, every year many hobbyists travel on Friday, which the boss of the organisation also has no problem with. Everyone is always most cordially welcome at any time!

You can safely leave your picnic basket at home with your mother - the selection of meals and drinks is so vast, that you will be a little bit heavier when you return home on Sunday! And all this and more at affordable prices. However in order not to drive the meeting organisation into financial ruin, there is a small contribution of 2 Euros per person which is obligatory.

Radio Borderhunter will organise a meeting for friends of the free radio and pirate hobby, that is not only unique, but will also remain unsurpassed - that we promise all hobbyists! In order that we can better plan, we request that you let us know when you are coming, in advance if possible. As we want to make sure that we have enough food beforehand, for example.

Reservations, applications and questions should be directed to the following e-mail address: meeting2011@live.com  or to PO BOX 2702, 6049 ZG HERTEN, THE NETHERLANDS.

The exact route to the meeting will be given in advance. Most of you will know it from previous years.
Our motto for this meeting, as always is: come, see, be amazed, be at home.
All free radio friends are cordially welcome at the BORDERHUNTER SUMMER MEETING on the 1st untill the 3th of July 2011!!!

Pirate radio station raided in north London

A PIRATE radio station operating from a house in Ponders End (Enfield) was shutdown this morning (Feb 4) after a police raid.

Officers from Ponders End Safer Neighbourhood Team swooped on the Alexandra Road address after monitoring the illegal station broadcasting locally.

Officers from media watchdog OFCOM were involved in the operation, after receiving reports of a pirate station interfering with legal broadcasts and containing offensive language.

Around £5,000 worth of equipment was seized, and two men, aged 40 and 51, were arrested on suspicion of broadcasting offences. They are currently being questioned at a north London police station.

The history of British underground music through cassettes of pirate stations

While pirate radio has existed in the US since the very invention of the medium, it’s had a far more significant impact in the UK. The movie Pirate Radio (the American name for 'The Ship That Rocked') dramatized how pirates forged cracks in the dam that the staid BBC built against R&B and rock n’ roll in the 60s. But British pirates retained cultural influence long after the Beeb embraced rock and commercial stations took to the dial.

In particular, pirate radio was the catalyst for British underground electronic dance music and hip-hop. Though less well known in the US, genres such as Jungle, Garage, Grime and drum ‘n’ bass were catalyzed and popularized by pirates, especially in London.

A new documentary by filmmaker Rollo Jackson tells the history of this music through the path of cassette tape recordings of prominent London pirates in his film Tape Crackers. The film just screened at the Institute for Contemporary Arts in London.
