RADIO ATLANTIS

 

 

 

 

 

 



 

From the 1st July, the 773 Khz transmitter came on the air. It had been hired by Radio Atlantis for three months, and broadcast from 06:00 - 19:00 daily. After Atlantis had closed down for the night, non stop music was broadcast.
 


Another new station Radio Seagull made its debut on 24th July. Seagull was a progressive music station that came on after Atlantis closed down for the night.
 


At the end of September, storm force winds kept the stations off the air. Early afternoon on 1st October, the mast collapsed, leaving only a twenty-six foot section standing. A makeshift aerial was erected by the 4th, and the station resumed broadcasting using the 10kw transmitter, but this was not very successful. The make shift aerial failed on the 18th October, and the radioship was silent.
