FRS Holland on Sunday

Dear FRS Friends,

Summer has gone and autumn is ruling. Propagation conditions have  reached to a satisfactory level.
Time to expand some activity. In preparation to full programming, we have planned a test on 7600 kHz/ 39 metres on Sunday October 14th 07:52- 10:00 UTC/ 09:52- 12:00 CEST.

We are understandably curious about reception on 7600 kHz.
We'd love to hear from you, either by mail [frs@frsholland.nl] or via POBox 2702, 6049 ZG Herten, the Netherlands.

 FRS-Holland will take to the air with full programming on Sun October 28th 08:52- 14:30 UTC/ 09:52- 15:30 CET. That day winter time will come into force. In the afternoon there will be an audio stream via Internet starting at 15:52 CET.

More news in the upcoming weeks.
73s,
Peter Verbruggen on behalf of the FRS Team

Rinse FM celebrates 18th birthday

DJ Geeneus is remembering the first ever Rinse FM radio broadcast, as a pirate station, in September 1994. "One of my friends got their first flat, so we were like, Great, we'll stick the studio in the kitchen, 'cause you're not going to be using your kitchen that much… We was 18 floors up and we put the aerial out the balcony window, moved it around… And then the front door come flying off and some old geezer come flying in, screaming at us, going, 'My telly!' He was watching the rugby and he could hear our radio station coming through his telly!"
