FRSH's 30th anniversary




Hello FRS-Holland Friends,

Already some time ago we informed you about the upcoming FRS 30 Years celebrations.
In the mean time we have received a number of contributions,  we feel the on air celebration would be incomplete without our listeners' input!
Of course contributions from colleague SW stations are also very much appreciated.

Still we haven't heard from many listeners whose contribution would be much appreciated. We are talking about many faithful listeners who already tuned long time ago.
For us at FRSH your contribution is 'invaluable' !!

So we once again appeal on you....
Preparations are in an advanced stage and we once again invite you as FRSH listener to participate. Instead of writing a letter following a broadcast, we kindly ask
for your personal FRS memories.
Either you put them 1) on a sheet of paper or send them by mail and 2) most wanted: record your personal message and send an mp3 audio file.
All listener's contributions will be collected and together it will be our anthology of 30 years of SW broadcasts. When did you hear us for the first time, what was your favorite show, when did you get your first QSL, how much did you listen to FRS, any special on air moments you remember? All this info could be part of your personal FRS contribution.
Send your contribution to <frs@frsholland.nl> or POBox 2702, 6049 ZG Herten, the Netherlands.
All the best from all of us at FRSH.


On behalf of the FRS Staff,

Peter Verbruggen
