"FRS on air over Radio Miami Int. November 21st
In the night of Saturday November 20th to Sunday November 21st between
01:00- 02:00 UTC = 02:00- 03:00 CET, FRS will have a 2nd relay over the
100 kW transmitter of WRMI, Radio Miami Int. broadcasting from Florida,
USA. The broadcast will be aired on 5950 kHz. FRS is invilted by Texas
Radio Shortwave. Although the signal is primarily beamed at North &
South America, Euro reception is possible. The first relay was on August
14th producing some very interesting e-mails from all over the world.
August 14th
Late May we got an invitation/offer via e-mail from Texas Radio
Shortwave. “Would FRSH be interested in having an hour program aired at
no cost over WRMI, Okeechobee, Floride USA in August?” The answer was
obvious! Of course we’d be interested!
What’s the story behind? Texas Radio SW selected a number of low power
Euro SW stations that broadcast interesting programs. Aim is to provide
interesting content for North American listeners who may not know these
stations exist and for DXers who can’t hear these stations under current
solar conditions. A first series went out in July & August and a second
series started last September running until late November.
TexasRadio SW 2021Well, the August 14th FRSH broadcast on 5800 kHz went well, not to
wonder knowing no less then 100,000 watts went out via Radio Miami
Int.’s Florida based broadcasting site.We received numerous letters/
reports from North & South American listeners (including Brazil, Uruguay
& Argentina) plus a few from Europe. FRS-Holland expresses its gratitude
to Texas Radio SW for this great initiative! Thank you guys! The 5800
kHz signal was primarily targeted at North American listeners but also
in South America satisfactory results could be achieved. For European
listeners things looked different. Euro reception is more problematic
though certainly not impossible! Of course there was yet another
obstacle for Euro Dxers: the broadcast started at 02:00 UTC which is for
the majority of listeners in the middle of the night: 04:00 CEST!
In the 58 minute show a look back at 40 years of FRS-Holland mentioning
a number of ups and downs in the station’s rich history. And of course
‘typical’ FRS music & jingles.
