** AUSTRIA. 11930, May 23 at 0601, VP signal talking: surprised anything here except Cuban jamming anytime and RM in daytime. HFCC shows this semihour only is BBC French via Moosbrunn, 300 kW at 235 degrees toward W Africa (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CUBA. 6060, May 23 at 0606, RHC is S9 but undermodulated; 6165 is S9/+10 of dead air; 5040 S9+20 of dead air; 6000 is off. Only 6100 is VG S9+20 with normal modulation. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CUBA. 11760, May 23 at 1501, this RHC has humbuzz, ID giving it and only 15140, FM from this hour; 1503 late start Esperanto on both. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** EUROPE. 4909.986v, May 23 at 1845, Free Radio Service Holland in publicized Whitsunday broadcast to last until 2005*, on four frequencies at once. All are well audible via UTwente but 4910 is best at S9+20; 7700.058v tuned first at 1841, S8; 5790.038v S7-S8; 3919.923v only S9. Latest publicity via Manuel Mendez said,
``Dear FRS Friend, Next Sunday FRSH will be airing a 70s evening full of nostalgia. The broadcast will be aired on no less than 4 frequencies being: 3920, 4905, 5790 (or a nearby channel) & 7700 kHz``
Acknowledging presumably real-time listener mail, Zacharias Liangas, Thessaloniki at 1852. Earlier at 1845 said printed QSL required P-mail reports only with E/$3 rp; 1847 ``more music``. Lots of produxion liners, jingles. 1900 TCs and ID, then ``Made in Holland`` focusing on 1970s music --- rock! What else? There is no other kind of music, is there? I guess this nostalgic stuff be significant to elder Europeans, but if it were American would not be significant to this elder American lover of classical music.
Altho quite strong signals, not in skip zones, each exhibits some fading into UTwente, which might not happen if any be at ``local`` range in Holland. I keep filing FRSH under Europe since it`s a pirate, not necessarily transmitting from inside Holland, despite the name. Why don`t they get legal? Private SW stations are being licensed. WRTH 2021 page 486 International sexion shows three ex-pirate SW stations under Netherlands (plus Mighty KBC which openly transmits via Germany).
At 1913 the DJ lists the four frequencies including ``4900`` -- what does he know? Then acknowledging reception reports from March 14. By 1917 I`ve had enough of this hyper-frenetic hype, and bail out, back to WYSU webcast for `With Heart & Voice`, sacred choral and organ music I enjoy every Sunday afternoon (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
