If you want to listen to the morning broadcasts of AIR regional stations
in Europe, the first frequencies coming to my mind are 4800, 4910 and
4920 kHz. After monitoring the situation more closely on some mornings
in the third decade of September, the project can be summarized as follows:
4800 kHz: AIR Hyderabad, morning broadcast according to Jose Jacob (27
September) 0020-0215, the sign on confirmed, on some days better signal
than CNR1, but not heard after 0100, news in Hindi 0030 and English 0035
4810 kHz: AIR Bhopal, not actively monitored because it was covered by a
utility signal, morning broadcast officially 0025-0215
4910 kHz: AIR Jaipur, morning broadcast officially 0025-0430, the sign
on confirmed like this: test tone already on before 0020, 0023 interval
signal from All India Radio, Vande Mataram and indigenous music, ongoing
programme still  observed after 0100
4920 kHz: AIR Chennai, morning broadcast officially 0015-0215, after the
sign on on some days better signal than PBS Xizang by the day, but not
for long.
4950 kHz: AIR Srinagar, morning broadcast according to Jose Jacob: s0030
/ w0120-0215, but not heard like that. Finally on 27 September 2020:
test tone, 0118 Interval Signal, 0120 Vande Mataram, 0122 frequency
announcements, indigenous music
5040 kHz: AIR Jeypore, morning broadcast officially 0025-0436, finally
heard on 27 September but not after 0100

We at FRS were happy with the  response on our 200th official broadcast on Sunday August 30th. We received a fine number of most interesting mails and letters, some from 'long ago listeners' and others from new listeners. And amazing reception in the US/Canada later in the evening! But (and this is even more important!) also solid reception in Europe, particularly in the mid/later part of the evening. The comprehensive FRS Summer 2020 Newsletter tells it all. In the mean time we have responded to all those writing in for the FRS Summer Splash as well as the 200th broadcast August 30th. It was a huge job but looking at some of the mail we received, it was worth doing. Most likely early November we hope to celebrate 4 decades of FRS-Holland on short wave. Certainly a milestone! It's not only our party but also the listeners' one! So...we need a little helping hand, your participation. In all those many years we have often tried to involve listeners in our broadcasts.. Many of you will know what I mean. We'd kindly request to answer & reply to these two questions: Q1) When did you listen to FRS-Holland for the very first time? It could be an exact date but if you cannot remember that's no problem. 'Summer 1983', 'late 1998' , Spring 2005'' ...all is ok! And: if you can add a just a few  explanatory words. that would be wonderful. Like: 'I first heard FRS-Holland because early 2001 I bought myself a new SW receiver. One of the first times I used it, I came along FRS-Holland." Or: "I read about FRS in a magazine and was curious to hear the station.' 'I heard it from a fellow DXer.'  There are various good reasons! If you remember please mention it. Q2) And why are you still listening to FRSH?  Please come up with one or a few arguments. Most likely you have already mentioned (a) reason(s) in a mail/ letter you once sent. How to respond? You can respond by e-mail or  spoken word (approx. one minute). If you have the opportunity to record your message (mp3), that would be wonderful. Otherwise we will read out your message on air! Please include your name and address. To ease things you can fill in the attached form and return it.  Or alternatively put your answers directly in a mail. Last but not least: we MUST have your entry latest on October 9th. That gives you more than enough time. We do not expect long 'stories'. Keep it short !
