LEAVING PORT
On 13th October, it was announced that only the pop station would go on air. This was due to a row between Len Muller and the second stations backers, resulting in their support being withdrawn from the project. The "Communicator" left Port Everglades, and via the Azores, sailed to New Ross in Ireland, where work commenced to wire up the studios. During the third week of December the "Communicator" dropped anchor a few miles north of the Drill Stone Light Buoy in the Thames Estuary. A force eight storm greeted them, and shortly afterwards the ship moved to calmer waters, eight miles from Margate. On the 24th December, repairs were carried out to damaged equipment on the "Communicator". With rumours that the government was going to investigate the ship, she was moved into international waters, near Long Sands, on the 27th.
