Aerial takes a tumble
The severe gales over recent weeks have taken their toll at the Red Sands Fort. Situated seven nautical miles out from Whitstable in the Thames Estuary, the Forts are exposed to the full onslaught of winds from every direction. So hardly a surprise that the transmitter antenna installed on the Red Sands Fort last summer has taken a tumble
Said radio engineer & overall Project Redsand Chairman Robin Adcroft “We’re disappointed it’s fallen but in reality it was a tempory antenna which we didn’t expect to survive the winter”. He continued, “We have a new and permanent replacement ready to ship out and erect for this and future Red Sands Radio broadcasts”
Red Sands Radio plans a return to the air in early July 2008
