memo from Mrs. Calvert
A memo from Dorothy Calvert, sent out to the fort in January 1967. Turn down the echo, lads!
Tony Carroll rescue
In 1965, a disc-jockey called Tony Carroll had to be air-lifted off the Radio City fort with acute appendicitis. Cutting from an unknown newspaper.

City boss Reg Calvert was always coming up with new ideas. This is one of his more bizarre schemes: an offshore station based on a submarine!

Beauty queen Linda Bass was signed up to become a Radio City DJ. She used her mother's maiden name on air, Peggy Knight.
 

Another of Reg's grand plans: for a pirate television station. As reported in an American paper.
script for Basildon Request Show
A script from the Sunday morning Basildon Request Show. The programme was split into segments with different local firms sponsoring each. For a time there were request shows aimed at other areas too such as Southend, St.Albans and south-east London, but the Basildon show lasted longest.
letter from Paul Elvey
A 1965 letter to a listener from disc-jockey / engineer Paul Elvey.
script for sponsored programme
