Last Sunday's
FRS broadcast suffered from instable propagation conditions. Some
might have enjoyed good reception whereas others' reception was poor. It is
commonly known that SW conditions have been poor. Not only during daytime but
also sometimes during evening. Last Sunday we were received in Cyprus and
Mexico (not via SDR) while reception in areas where 7700 is almost always
satisfactory, was poor. Apart from the final 60 min. when the first show
(Bert van Leer) was repeated; that was between 23:00-23:50 CEST. During that
time 7700 was very strong and also 5810 did well.
There might be a repeat next Sunday August
4th or August 11th. At this moment things are uncertain. But it's
worth while to tune in and give it a try! Same time schedule and same freqs
being 7700//5810 kHz. Details are still to be read on our site: http://www.frsholland.nl/20-latest-news/132-frs-on-air-sunday-evening-july-28th.html
Remember there are streams planned for next Thursday, Saturday &
Sunday (twice!). FRS' 39th anniversary will be celebrated on Sunday Sept. 1st. Details will
follow in the course of August.
73s, Peter V. on behalf of the FRS
