Broadcast Announcements / FRS (Free Radio Service Holland) on air Easter Sunday

« on: April 17, 2022, 0051 UTC »

On Easter Sunday April 17th FRS-Holland will be on air all day with its first 2022 broadcast. Programmes will start at 07:52 UTC/ 09:52 CEST. Another FRS transmission filled with tasty ingredients: great music, radio related items, e-mails, a dve into FRS' rich history,  lots of DX News and much more.
Times and frequencies: 7700// 5800 and 6185 kHz: 07:52- 12:30 UTC/ 09:52- 14:30 CEST. Mind you: the full programming will be repeated on 7700//5800  in the afternoon starting right after the close down at 12:35 UTC/ 14:35 CEST. During this time of the year propagation conditions between morning and (later) afternoon can be significantly different!
A few weeks ago (Sunday March 20th) FRS put out a satisfactory one hour test on 7700//5800 in the afternoon between 15- 16 UTC.

No programme schedule this time but expect the full line up of prsenters: Jan van Dijk, Mike Taylor, Bert van Leer, Dave Scott & Peter Verbruggen. We will turn you Sunday into a very enjoyable one. So...make sure you tune in !
