Red Sands Radio launches today
Red Sands Radio, a special UK RSL operation, goes
on the air today, and will operate at 0600-1800 UTC through 23 July, from
Red Sands Fort in the Thames Estuary, 8 miles off the coast of Whitstable.
Red Sands was home to 1960’s offshore stations Radio Invicta, KING
Radio and Radio 390. The station will broadcast on 1278 kHz with antennas
designed by Peter Chicago, once Chief Engineer on Radio Caroline and now
working for a respected transmitter company. For listeners outside the
immediate area, the broadcasts will be streamed
online.
With the “Best of Yesterday & Today” & some interesting
documentaries & programmes from the original stations Red Sands Radio
promises to bring something different to the air.
The station is hosted by Project Redsand, to promote Project Redsand
and to commemorate the 40th anniversary of the end of pirate radio.
