FRS Summer Splash to take to airwaves next month:

Dear FRS Friends!

The time has finally come... After a (too...) long break, FRS-Holland will return to the airwaves in July/August.

A combination of circumstances forced us to be inactive for more than 6 months. We do regret this inactivity but with new energy we will soon return to the shortwave airwaves.

Good news: all familiar FRS voices will join: Jan, Mike, Bert, Dave & Peter V.

Important: our website frsholland.nl will be offline for a while because we switch to a new provider. That implies we will build a new site starting in July/ August.

At the same time you cannot check our website for the latest details regarding the FRS Summer Splash.

In this mail we will supply the most important information, share it with any radio friend/ colleague! We hope those who run a blog will share the info with their readers. Thanks in advance!!

FRS Summer Splash

Following last year's successful edition, we hope you will also enjoy the upcoming one.

Our schedule: 3 weeks in a row, a 2 hour broadcast.

Sunday July 23rd  18:59- 21:04 UTC/ 20:59- 23:04 CEST
Sunday July 30th  18:59- 21:04 UTC/ 20:59- 23:04 CEST
Sunday August 6th 18:59- 20:59 UTC/ 20:59- 23:04 CEST

All programmes will be thematic including various radio related items. Don't miss it!

Frequencies will be 6185 kHz & 7700//5800 (or 5790) kHz. Last year we experienced some difficulties with a suitable 5.8 MHz frequency, so it’s hard to give you the exact frequency. But it will be close to (or on) 5800 kHz.

Slam comes with new Dance 1000 : After a year's absence, the Dance 1000 returns to radio station Slam. From October 11, the 1000 best dance tracks can be heard in the mix for five days. "An ode to the four-quarter measure," slam said. The Slam Dance 1000 is broadcast in the week that Amsterdam should have been the mecca of dance again. "Unfortunately, we are not walking the streets of Amsterdam this year", according to the radio station. "But letting ADE pass us by, of course we don't do that." And that's why there's going to be a new edition of the Slam Dance 1000. The list can be heard daily from 11 a.m. to 15 October between 7 a.m. and 7 p.m. on Slam.

You can vote for this year's list via Slam's we...

Old medium wave transmitter Radio 10 Gold to Radio Caroline

Old medium wave transmitter Radio 10 Gold to Radio Caroline : The former English sea transmitter Radio Caroline has been broadcasting since last week with more power on the medium wave. For this, the station has purchased a 'new' station and there is a Dutch touch to it: it is the old medium-wave transmitter that Radio 10 Gold used until 2013. Before Radio 10 acquired a national FM lot in 2013, the station broadcast as Radio 10 Gold at 828 kHz from Heinenoord under Rotterdam. A 20 kW medium wave transmitter (Harris DX25) was used for this. This transmitter, after years of dust in storage, was taken over by Caroline and shipped to England. Meanwhile, the new transmitter is operational for Caroline and the radio station broadcasts with more power. With what power is sent out, the radio station does not want to say, but rumors are that it is 4 kW. As a result, the reception has also improved considerably in the Netherlands. Caroline was officially l...
