Dear FRS Friend!
Christmas 2020 casts its shadow forward and we are approaching the end of
2020. An almost (?) surrealistic year.
Perspectives for 2021 are hopeful but it will take time and patience before
our hopes will be fulfilled, looking at the upcoming start
of vaccination.
*Special year *For us at FRS-Holland it was a special year too. 2020 marked
our 200th official shortwave broadcast back in August and the icing
on the cake was the celebration of our *40th Anniversary* a few weeks ago.
April saw a broadcast of hope right in the middle of the
first Covid-19 wave. Last Summer we did an experiment with The FRS Summer
Splash: three successive thematic broadcasts.
40th Anniversary broadcast
The November 8th on air 40th anniversary celebration exceeded our
expectations. That day we were heard with good signals on - apart
from 7700 & 5790- also on 6195, 6160, 3920. A great success!
I remember that Saturday I went to our P.O.Box 2702... it was crammed with
letters...snailmail! Together with all e-mails we can only
be happy and proud. The comprehensive preparations to make it an
interesting, successful and memorable broadcast paid off! CD, Booklet & QSL
It's my guess it won't surprise you that the months prior to November 8th
were fully focused on preparing, organizing etc. There was
no time for other 'business'. Nevertheless we felt it was the right moment
for a souvenir CD ánd booklet. And: we had to work on creating/
producing an unique Anniversary QSL as well. It was not until a week after
the Anniversary broadcast that a start was made to produce
the CD, booklet and QSL. In the mean time the 'ingredients' for the CD have been finished. The main
idea for the special QSL card has been worked out and even better:
the QSL has already been printed. Those who send a reception report/letter
to P.O.Box 2702 will not regret it: the 40th Anniversary QSL
is (in my humble opinion) a success and looks splendid. It's a folded A4,
printed on heavy quality paper in full color. Wait and see! For those who sent an e-mail report, regretting (after reading the above)
they didn't go for a *hard copy*: you can still get your unique QSL
by writing to P.O.Box 2702. We have printed a few extra ones but remember:
this QSL is only issued for the 40th Anniversary broadcast!
Without exaggeration: the hard copy QSL is by far the best option!
The CD & booklet will be finished in the next few days. Final conclusion: a
bit of patience is required. Traditional December broadcast
The FRS Seasonal December broadcast is scheduled for Sunday December 27th,
the day after Boxing Day. It's a tradition we won't give up.
So except a nice mix of great music, items & information in a few weeks'
time.
More info will follow via mail and on our website.
73's, Peter Verbruggen on behalf of the FRS staff

Subject: [badx] A Unique Solution For An Antenna Mount/Support My speaker stands haven’t arrived yet so I had to figure out a way to hold up my loop antenna while keeping it steady and straight.... and here’s my solution for the winter. (Link to picture at the end of this email!) I filled a trash can with water, put the 5 foot long 1 1/4” PVC pipe in one corner of the trash can and had the trash can flush with the side of my porch wall then I left the trash can out overnight. I then brought the ice filled trash can to be bottom of my 3 steps, put it in the red plastic sled and pull the sled 150 feet up the KSKO driveway by strings attached to the end of the sled. That’s one majorly solid chunk of ice and since McGrath, Alaska won’t see above freezing temperatures for any length of time till April or so, I’m good for awhile. That sled holds my radio and recording gear... load up the sled and take it down the KSKO driveway to my “listening post”, which is the two totes stacked on top of each other. Here's a link to a picture of what I just described: https://ibb.co/G0jcssQ Paul Walker Tecsun PL880, CC Skywave, DeBock 5" FSL Loop & Doxytronics 3-19mhz Loop _._,_._,_ Groups.io Links: You receive all messages sent to this group.
