"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.
