   Whitstable is a gorgeous place. Lovely sea breezes yet sheltered from the worst of the North seas storms by virtue of its location.
   To live with a sea view from your lounge and bedroom windows must be one of the things we all desire. And yet is within easy reach of London should you need this. So its a real win-win location.
   I would love to live there, but sadly can only dream. Unless of course the lottery comes up trumps.

   We’re very fortunate & never under state what a great place it is to live & run a radio station from

   Why have you stopped broadcasting from the Redsands forts, as had the mast put up and you stopped broadcasting

   The Fort lost its WWII federing so was unable to take vessels alongside, this has subsequently been replaced (2011) by senior (Radio City) Shivering Sands Fort Engineer Tony Pine with his team who also constructed a jungle bridge between the Southern Gun Tower 1 & The Control Tower
   Red Sands Radio sourced a lattice antenna for a ‘pepper corn’ cost of £25 paid for by projectredsand, parts, the erection & costs involved were paid for by Red Sands Radio
   Whilst when bringing the station back from the old Offshore Radio Fort was novel the costs involved were phenomenal. Tender fees alone £250 each trip, fuel for our two generators, supplies
   Since coming ashore we’ve been much more in touch with our core audience & unlike Radio Veronica & even Caroline these days still maintain an Offshore feel

   Thats very true what you say Bob.

   Red Sands Radio does indeed manage to retain the “feel” of a genuine ’60′s pirate but at the same time have up to date touches that keep it in place with the needs and sounds of modern radio.

   It is indeed the best of yesterday and today.

   Heres to all at RSR, specially Bob and his lady wife.
   Fingers crossed you will return one day with a permanent spot on the dial. Quality radio such as this deserves no less.
   Here’s hoping……………..

   Best wishes to all from an ex Radio City fan.
