Red Sands Radio to broadcast on AM - July 14-23


A reminder update from our original post. RA ten-day Restricted Service Licence (RSL) operation will take place from 14-23 July 2007
from the same Fort used by British offshore broadcaster Radio 390 in 1964-1967. Red Sands Fort, 7 nautical miles off Whitstable in Kent, is the location, and UK communications regulator Ofcom has allocated 1278 kHz for the operation. For those outside the local area, the programs will be streamed online.

Red Sands Radio will pay tribute to the pirate radio stations of the 1960’s that so much influenced how commercial radio developed in Britain. There will be some of the original programs and radio documentaries with a mix of “the best of yesterday & today”.

Red Sands Radio is part of the overall Project-Redsand who are well advanced in their long term plans to preserve the last full set of Army Forts for future generations.
