Hi - Thanks for your comments psionxx - You are quite right Radio 390 broadcast from Red Sands from September 65 to july 67. Shivering Sands was used by Radio Sutch from May 64 to September 64 followed by Radio City from September 64 to February 67. Well spotted - I'll put it down to a tiepin error.!

Radio 390 did not broadcast from Shivering Sands fort. It was on Rad Sands - about 2 miles west of Shivering Sands. Previous stations broadcasting from Rad Sands were Radio Invicta and the short lived K-I-N-G Radio. "Home of the good guys" and "boss jocks" tags borrowed from many USA stations and the jingles made by Pams of Dallas.

"Home of the Good Guys"? Directly borrowed from WMCA New York....

Good jingle & clip mix, and good photos.Thanks for uploading.

Should just mention, though, that Caroline from the MI Amigo remained off the Essex coast until March 1968, not August 1967, which was when the infamous Marine Etc Broadcasting Offences Act came into effect.
