The three month Radio Atlantis contract was not renewed. They had purchased their own ship, the Janiene, which started test broadcasts on the 3rd November.

On the Mi Amigo, work started on another new mast. By 23rd November, five out of nine sections of the mast had been erected, but due to storms could not be finished.

Finally on 24th December, the new 165 foot yellow painted mast was complete, and at 15:45 test broadcasts commenced.

Tests continued over Christmas, and on 28th December, another new station was heard - Radio Mi Amigo, a Flemish organisation who had hired transmitter time.
