Radio 390

Radio 390 was a British offshore radio on the medium wave on 773 kHz, 388 m which has existed less than two years.

Ted Allbeury was called to solve problems of KING Radio and collected funds to most KING-owners from buying it. He came for the day with a very different music format and aimed for the older listener, and that with great success.

Radio 390 (so named for the used wavelength) sent from a former army fort on Red Sands across the mouth of the Thames. The Red Sands Fort consisted of 7 towers that were interconnected with walkways. The official program started on 25 september 1965. Due to problems with the judicial authorities was the station off the air of 18 August 1966 to 31 december 1966. There were disputes about the location of the forts. At low tide, they would come to lie within the territorial waters, which on the basis of Navy cards also would be proven. Closed on 28 July 1967 Radio 390.
