Out all day today so no time for listening. Hopefully I'll get a few hours over Christmas...
I did hear the first programme from the Latvia transmitter for about six months this morning (Saturday). Radio Joystick with dance music on 9290 @ 0905 in German. SINPO 44433. More programmes to come from Latvia (see earlier posting).
Mystery Radio last night (Fri) @ 2300 on 6220 with a 33433 SINPO. This evening @ 1805 with pop and IDs. Again fair signal (33433). Listening now to Andy Walker & Chris Ise show @ 2340, playing the KLF. Enjoyable stuff but reception only fair (34333).
Radio Marabu very strong (9+40dB!)on 5775 via IRRS @ 2115, playing alternative music. SINPO 55555.
Unid station on 3929 (Quintus?) @ 2125. Just heard snatch of polka and signal disappeared or faded out. SINPO 23432. Possibly something on 3925 but can barely detect a carrier.

FRS Holland repeat on internet
Last Sunday FRS-Holland was heard on 6220 kHz between 09.00- 13.00 UTC.
Conditions were rather unstable compared with the 10th December when we carried out a promotional broadcast. Nonetheless we received numerous mails.
On Xmas Eve Dec 24th FRS-Holland will repeat the complete broadcast of the previous week on the Internet. Times are the same: between 09.00- 13.00 UTC. We'd like to thank all listeners for the many e-mails.
If you would like to give it a try listening to FRS in good quality on Sunday, then check this:
For those using Win Amp use http://bereik.net:8500/listen.pls
Windows Media Player users should surf to http://bereik.net:8500
Early next Sunday morning FRS will be broadcasting a 60 min. show hoping to reach North America. We could be on 48 metres but perhaps also on 41 metres, around 7490 kHz.
Test will start at approx 05.00 UTC.
