World Music Radio forced to suspend shortwave service

In an announcement on their Facebook page, WMR has said: "In a completely unexpected move the Danish authorities (Energistyrelsen) has withdrawn the permission to use out of band short wave frequencies (on a non interference basis) for World Music Radio (WMR).

"This means that WMR will be ceasing operations on 5840 and 15805 kHz tomorrow (Sunday September 15th 2019) at 2200 UTC. WMR may return to shortwave – using frequencies inside the official SW bands – but this may take several months.

"Meanwhile WMR continues working on getting on the air on medium wave 927 kHz in Copenhagen.

"Thanks for listening to WMR on short wave for the past almost two years. Please keep listening via internet streaming at www.wmr.dk "

This will no doubt also hit another low powered Danish station, Radio OZ-Viola which uses 5825 kHz, but no announcement from them yet.

FRS Holland to repeat 39th anniversary broadcast this Sunday

Dear FRS Friends,

On Sunday (September 8th) FRS will repeat last Sunday's broadcast which suffered from very poor/ unstable propagation conditions. That means once again a start at 16:52 UTC/ 18:52 CEST.

Frequency: only 5810 kHz. It looks like higher freqs like 7700 suffer from very long skip nulling out reception in large parts of out target area. We hope for better/stronger reception but realize that the current conditions simply are (very) poor!

Sunday Sept. 8th  16:52- 21:00 UTC 5810 kHz ...FRS' 39th Anniversary featuring Jan, Bert, Dave, Peter & Mike. Tune in!

Have a good weekend,
73s  Peter V. (on behalf of the entire FRS Family).

Vintage pirate radio magazines online

Cool AM has provided a link to pirate radio fanzines which have been digitally scanned and turned into PDFs. These can be accessed via a Google Drive link.

Among titles featured are the Anoraks UK Weekly Report, Radio Argus News, Free Radio Waves, Pirate Connection, Wavelength and many more.

Back in the 1970s & 1980s, there was no internet so getting access to information about your favourite pirate radio stations was not easy.

Some pirate stations had DX shows, while there were free radio columns in DX clubs' monthly magazines. But enthusaists also published their own A4 typewritten fanzines with all the latest information that listeners could subscribe to.

These had all the latest news from shortwave, medium wave, Ireland and offshore. So if you want to wallow in some nostalgia why not take a look?

FRS Holland's email problem fixed

Dear FRS Friend,

A third mail from us within a week, quite unusual. Yesterday I reported about mailbox problems. In the mean time this issue has been solved! Happy...

On the contrary: we  at FRS feel totally unhappy and disappointed about last Sunday's broadcast. In the past years almost all Summer Sunday evenings broadcasts produced a good response from all over Europe, partly due to good signals.

Things in 2019 are different! Already on July 28th we were confronted with unusual poor propagation in the evening hours. For that reason we repeated the broadcast two weeks later on Sunday August 11th. That one was slightly better, still not good.

Last Sunday we had good hopes for a satisfactory broadcast, our 39th anniversary. There was an interesting line up of programmes with interesting topics and all of our team was motivated to produce a great show.

But unfortunately things were even worse than in July. What never happened: 7700  was almost inaudible in areas where usually a good signal is produced. In several areas 5810 did better than 7700. But that was only during part of the broadcast. In some areas both signals couldn't be received at all. Signals were unstable and faded in and out. After 21 CEST we 'scored 'S9 in Slovenia and Poland. But: in areas we usually provide fair/good signals (almost) nothing was to be heard. And thus in our target areas there was little to enjoy.

For all of us very frustrating... With such unpredictable, unreliable conditions a repeat doesn't seem to be a solution. Finally it's possible that next weekend conditions are the same as they were last Sunday. We have to praise our engineer for doing the utmost to put out decent signals. But you cannot win from nature...

This evening and in the upcoming week there will be a number of streams on the Internet. See below!

FRS Holland email address problem

Dear FRS Friend,

This evening I discovered there is a problem with our mailbox --> frs@frsholland.nl
That means that mails which were sent to us because of our Sept 1st broadcast, have been returned to sender.

I have contacted the company who takes care of our our hosting and hope to hear what's going on (and going wrong). Messages are returned telling the mailbox is full which is - as far as I can see - not the case.

If you have sent a message/report, and it was returned, please await a further message from us and do NOT resend anything until you have heard from us it is ok to do so!

In the worst scenario messages are lost which is a very bad thing! I hope to have more (and better) news by tomorrow!

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.

Just visit https://xat.com/pirateradio2011?new and ask a moderator to make you a member.  Here you can talk to other listeners and pirate operators. The old chat is still running but gradually people are moving over to the new one.

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.

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.

If you want to know when he is on air visit the HF Underground forum.
