On Sunday December 27th FRS-Holland will be ringing out 2020 with its tradional Seasonal December broadcast. Programmes will start at 08:52 UTC/ 09:54 CET.
2020 has been a very special year. Covid-19 ruled the world with all of its consequences. At the same time FRSH celebrated two milestones: In August the 200th official shortwave broadcast and two months later- early November- the icing of the cake was our 40th Anniversary. Both on air celebrations were successful and we'd like all listeners for their support!

Souvenir booklet/CD
It won't surprise you that the months prior to November 8th were fully focused on preparing, organizing etc.for the 40th Anniversary. There was hardly/no time for other 'business'. Nevertheless we felt it was the right moment for a souvenir CD ánd booklet. And: we had to work on creating/ producing an unique Anniversary QSL as well. It was not until a week after the Anniversary broadcast that a start was made to produce CD, booklet and QSL.
In the mean time the 'ingredients' for the CD have been finished. The main idea for the special QSL card has been worked out and even better: the QSL has already been printed. Those who sent a reception report/letter to P.O.Box 2702 won't regret it: the 40th Anniversary QSL is (in our humble opinion) a success and looks splendid. It's a folded A4, printed on heavy quality paper in full color. Wait and see!
For those who sent an e-mail report, regretting (after reading the above) they didn't go for a hard copy: you can still get your unique QSL by writing to P.O.Box 2702. We have printed a few extra ones but remember: this QSL is only issued for the 40th Anniversary broadcast! Without exaggeration: the hard copy QSL is by far the best option! This Holiday Season a start will be made replying to all who send an e-mail report or a letter/report to P.O.Box 2702 ( it was crammed with letters!).
The booklet will contain 32 pages (!) and only costs 5 euro. That's also the price for the CD. Payments via P.O.Box 2702 or via Paypal: use frs@frsholland.nl .
73s, Happy Holidays
