on the outskirts of Kent. In fact this special station called Red Sands
Radio will be 8.5 miles offshore from Whitstable on the North coast of
Kent in an old WWII Army Sea Fort on the Red Sands. The radio station,
which will be on-air from early July, will be broadcasting to 1,000's of
listeners in Kent on 1278kHz and via the Internet at
www.redsandonline.co.uk/ . As part of the sponsorship agreement, Icom UK
are planning to operate an Amateur Radio special event station. Ofcom
has issued GB0RSR the special call sign for this occasion. Icom will be
broadcasting on HF using an IC-756PROIII in the evening and on VHF/UHF
in the day. Icom UK also plan to conduct D-Star transmissions into a
repeater system and the Internet. A vertical antenna will be affixed to
the stanchions on the Southern Gun Tower roof to support the
communications. For more details of this unique station including
operating times and frequencies stay tuned to this website
