Thanks Nico!! Yes looking forward to that, On checking the Ofcom RSL list i see that 1278 has been allocated to them again and this year there is no sign of a Traffic Radio RSL on the same frequency,
That did really spoil reception in this area last year but luckily i heard a good bit of it because we stayed with some friends at Walton On The Nase while it was on and the signal was pounding in up there.

Yes saw that plus the suggestion that it may being used as a spoiler to make sure Red Sands Radio doesn't get out much beyond its target area in some directions as with Traffic Radio last year,
It does bring up another question, When a station applies for a RSL licence, Do they ask to be on AM of FM or is it up to Ofcom?

You can request it according to your budget. AM is a fraction of the FM license costs but then the equipment for AM is much more expensive so it all adds up to around the same costs at the end of the day. Easy cash for OFCOM! Their spoiling tactics of awarding the frequency twice in close areas is a scandalous! OFCOM seems full of pot plants who love to make it difficult for those willing to pay and make a legal broadcast whilst their pathetic attempts to close the Drug Cartel run pirate stations is nothing more than a weedy / cowardly effort.
I bet any money that if armed with DF'ing equipment and riot outfits, a group of Girl Guides could close down all, if not most, of the FM 'Drug / Gun Crazed' stations in London over a period of 3-4 days. Funny isn't it, GBP50,000 a month was spent on spying on Caroline / Laser but today they can't even tackle drug run stations on their own doorstep let alone at sea.
If a ship was to sail into the north sea armed with a 50kW transmitter today, OFCOM would pile sh*t loads of tax payers cash to 'survey' it and would probably draw anti-terror laws to make it that much more 'spicey'. In contrast, you could set up a drug run FM station on the roof of the OFCOM offices and they would probably sh*t themselves in case of being accused of racism if they dared target it. The drugFM pirates so far targetted are just the small fry. I'd love to see how they handle the Yardies and Gun toting real 'BooomberClot SoundZ' Stations.
Ohhhhhh, I've done it again, gone right off topic, sorry, I've filled my bag up now whilst posing my rant.

Webstream is now online! Perhaps also the 1278 kHz-transmitter is now on air. Let here know if the 1278 kHz INDEED now is on air!

Audible at poor anorak quality on 1278 in South West London using a cheap portable. Assuming they only have 1 Watt that's brilliant!
All the best

About the same here on the Swanley/Sidcup border in Northkent using a portable, I guess i am about 70 miles or so from the fort so not bad,
Cant compare it to last year due the the Traffic Radio RSL then.
Richard
Pretty good signal here in SE25, little co-channel flutter but nothing unusual for this time of night. Shame about the web stream though, jumping, breaking up, buffering, eek!
Hi Stewart you may be a bit to near to 'Crush' on 1278. However you may be able to null them out with your loop, to hear Red Sands.

I Got it here too, just coming through the noise on a pretty poor (MW) Roberts receiver.
I've just been to the Redsands website
http://www.redsandonline.co.uk/
and what a fascinating project and what a futuristic looking cluster of buildings – sort of war of the worlds look about it.
For me the listening will have to be online due to my distance from the site
– but I will definitely listen as this is a very unique project, dare I say very eccentric!!

Yes it is a very interesting project which i have been following for quite a while now,
Last night during the test transmissions Bob-Le Roi was chatting on air with Peter Chicago whom is lending a hand with the TX etc,
They have recently installed a new aerial mast and there is more about it here,
http://www.bobleroi.co.uk/ScrapBook/RedSandsRadio_9/RedSandsRadio_9a.html
Bob is on the air at the moment with the breakfast show and it is surprising how good it is, He does have a good radio voice.
Richard
That's right Richard, I'm in my lounge room here in Melbourne it's 4.38 pm and I am listening to their breakfast show on my iMac. Isn't it wonderful :)

Sure is David sounding very professional, I can hear the transmission here on 1278 but as i am about 70 miles or so from the fort it is definitely Anorak quality and i am also listening on line and the stream is very good.

I can understand very well the OFCOM DF boys avoiding or refusing to get involved with underground ethic projects.
This is not the era where a little weekend "foxhunting" earned a bit of overtime helping to pay the mortgage. It's now a matter of life and death better suited to the use of armed police or the armed forces.
We now have no got RF areas where there is no desire to confront ethnic communities despite the inconvenience of having unstable and over-deviating transmitters polluting the 87 to 108 MHz confines.
Out of band interference and interference with emergency services has always been overstated even from relative crude transmitters. And now seemingly the situation is not so bad that the odd 13th harmonic cannot be tolerated in the interests of political correctness.
We certainly have no-go areas in Birmingham where many laws are just not enforced including parking law, theft, gun law, drug law ... Radio comes pretty low down the list of offences to target in the no-go areas of Gordon Brown's Britain. But don't run an unlicensed rig in rural Britain because the full force of the law will come down upon you.

In a nut shell, if you are an ethnic 'minority', the world is your oyster in this country. Meanwhile this Government continues to declare war on the indiginous population raping our purses and pockets to pay for it all. You can sense the anger as people are rebelling and repulsed by the daily news which depicts ethnics rebelling against British Law and society. Its no wonder todays youth have no identity and feel like they have to defend themselves. If you are English, you are a third class citizen.
If I was to set up English FM, target English for employment, start an English Police Association or any thing else aimed at English only, I'd be in a court room for 2 minutes before the shackles were slammed on me and carted away to an overcrowded prison to be converted to Islam.
I was amazed and disgusted by the responce of the Scottish poilce when launching their new non-emergency number this week. Trouble is, we all seem to be in a 'conditioned' state, a state whereby you speak out, you end up in the dock.
When is this country going to wake up? Knife & Gun crime is out of control, there is no way this Government can tackle it, it's much too late as far as I'm concerned.
Not far from where I live we have a huge Gypsy community which just doesn't want to abide by any laws, the police reaction is to ignore them and let them be as they don't want to cause a problem. A friend of mine is a care taker for a Community Disability Centre and they recently had special bicycles delivered. The Gypsy's stole the bikes and had the nerve to ride them around the centre's grounds before riding them home. The police told my friend that they don't want to interfere as they'd have a riot on their hands! It seems to day, if the Police can't deal with it, it's ignored.
I find it hard to believe that everytime I go in to our local town centre (Orpington) We have teenagers blatently smoking pot / cannabis or whatever outside the college building which is right outside the police station and the police do absolutely NOTHING! Is it becauz day r mostly blak?
Since the Police became the Police service, it's become an absolute joke and respect for the police is dimminishing rapidly. Some might say I have racist overtones in my sentiments, if having no respect for people that don't respect our laws and society makes me a racist, then so be it!
Again, I can see the raised eyebrows and people cowering as they read this message, probably too sh*t scared to respond in case of offending. This is the reason why this country is in such a mess. As long as the Celebs are on the Telly and sh*t loads of reality TV whisks people away to La La Land, this is going to get much worse.
As for illegal transmitters, if you are white, you stand no chance, they are scared that you might have an opportunity to say something that upsets the ethnics or against the establishment. Meanwhile the ethnics are allowed to arrange drug, gun and sex deals over the airwaves without being touched for fear of racist outcries.
What a f*cked up country this is!

There is much truth in what you say, however, I would not be as inclined as you are to generalise.
There are many ethinic minorities who collectively cause no difficulties and who contribute as much to the system as they take out. Let's face it, you don't feel scared to death when you meet a young Seikh in a subway.
The real difficulty starts when different grouping in society are afforded a different legal status to others.
