Channel 292 back on air

 Channel 292 writes: "Many listeners already noticed, that from Saturday, 15.28 UTC until Monday, 09.10 UTC we have beenmoff air. Reason was a heavy storm, that caused severe damage to our antennas. All 3 frequencies are back on air now, but the beam is seriously damaged and repair will last 1 to 2 week, we guess.

"We say thank you to all of you, who have already sent donations to help us to cover the costs; if you are  planning to do this: PayPal to info@channel292.de

"Because you don't need a protection for a buyer, please use the "Friends and Family" option, because otherwise PayPal will deduct fees for a service, that does not make sense here. (Bank account on request)

We will keep you up to date how the work on the beam goes on!"

Storm kicks Channel 292 off air

 

In a statement the station said: "A heavy storm that hit us Saturday afternoon, caused severe damage to our antennas. Since Saturday, 1528 UTC we are off air.

"We hope that we can repair some of the damages on Sunday, and to be back on air in the evening; but it is not sure if on one, two, all three frequencies and, if at all. 

"We say thank you to all of you who have already sent donations to help us to pay for the damages, or have told us they will do. Thank you very much for your support in hard times."

Let's hope they will be able to get them fixed and return to the air soon.

FRS Holland takes to the air this weekend

The Free Radio Service Holland will take to the airwaves with a 5 hour broadcast tomorrow (March 14). 

On this occasion, programmes will commence at 08:52 UTC/ 09:52 CET and close down will be at 14:04 UTC/ 15:04 CET . Following close down the full programming will be repeated until approx. 19:15 UTC/ 20:15 CET. Programmes will be aired on 7700//5790 kHz. During the afternoon session a 3rd frequency will be added: 3920 kHz. 

Apart from our usual format, during Sunday's broadcast all mail from FRS' previous November (40th Anniversary) & Seasonal December broadcasts will be handled. Because of the number of letters/e-mails we received, our good old International Listeners' Letter Show will be revived for this occasion! In the 1980s it used to be part of our programming. Former presenters were Joop ter Zee, Chris (our first German presenter), Gerd & Peter Verbruggen. Mike Taylor who used to do the Mailbag Show on E.M.R., will host the 2021 version of the I.L.L.S. (including original programme tune).

Tune in for the best in music, many interesting (radio) related items, letters/e-mails ánd DX news. We will be airing archive recordings from March 1991, 30 years back in time.

It will be worth while to tune in! Reports but moreover: personal comments and criticism are more than welcome. Contact us at: P.O.Box 2702, 6049 ZG Herten, The Netherlands  (=excellent hard copy QSL) or by e-mail: frs@frsholland.nl .
