Public Holiday

Post by Andy Richards »

Monday is a public holiday in most of Europe.But,as far as I can tell,not in The Netherlands.(Dutch readers please correct me if I'm wrong).
Much as we all love our Dutch Pirates,they are many & most have strong signals.With the Dutch at work & most of Europe off,I feel that Monday would be a great opportunity for UK,Irish,French,German & Scandinavian Pirates to broadcast,the bands will be clear with only low powered stations.................why not give it a go!!

Hi Andy, just to let you know that BRI should be on air with a special Motown show possibly 7am Sunday morning, and again Monday morning after 9am, however it really depends on TX site availability? if all goes to plan we shall be on our usual channel 6240khz 48mtrs. Roger.

Hi Scotland,

Thanks for the good wishes and sorry you guys have to work :(
But I must correct you on the Public Holiday in the UK.This year our holiday has fallen on May 1st,same as most of Europe,but we do not celebrate the date as our holiday is "On the first Monday in May",which means it is normaly not on May 1st.In olden times people would decorate the outside of their houses with flowers etc to symbolise the coming of summer.
Our holiday is a very old one that celebrates the coming of summer and has nothing to do with Socialism or Communism.
