Dear FRS Friends!

The wait is almost over: on Sunday October 30th 09.52 CET sharp, the Free Radio Service Holland will be back on the airwaves celebrating 42 years of independent free radio on shortwave.

Full details are- as always- to be read on our website. Use the link below!
For this celebration, there's a special brand new QSL available. And: we'll give it a try on 31 metres.

On Sunday October 30th, the Free Radio Service Holland will take to the airwaves celebrating 42 years of shortwave free radio. 
On this occasion, programmes will commence at 08:52 UTC/ 09:52 CET and close down will be at 13:35 UTC/ 14:35 CET . Following close down the full programming might be repeated (if so only on 7700 and/or 9335 kHz!). Programmes will be aired on 7700//9335 and 6185 kHz.
Expect the familiar FRS format: great music, various (surprising) radio related items, FRS memories, listener's mail and of course DX news. We haven't included details in the programme schedule below because...we'd like to surprise you!
Because of the high number of letters/ e-mails we received following our July/August Summer Splash, our good old International Listeners' Letter Show will be revived for this occasion! In the 1980s it used to be part of our programming. Mike Taylor who used to do the Mailbag Show on E.M.R., will host the I.L.L.S. Tune in on Sunday October 30th...it will be great Sunday entertainment and more than worth while! 
And: for this special occasion only, a brand new QSL card is available, printed in full colour on heavy high quality paper. 
Reports but moreover: personal comments and criticism are more than welcome. P.O.Box 2702 in 6049 ZG Herten, the Netherlands  (=excellent hard copy QSL) or by e-mail: frs@frsholland.nl .


Have a splendid weekend. We'll be meeting very soon.


73s, Peter V. on behalf of the entire FRS team

PS: Apart from next Sunday's 09:52- 14:35 CET broadcast, there will be a full repeat starting in the afternoon. That broadcast will commence at 16 UTC/ 17 CET on 3940 kHz.
