Radio 390 (1965–1967) was a pirate radio station on Red Sands Fort, (near Whitstable), a former Maunsell Fort on the Red Sands sandbar. Previously the fort had been used by Radio Invicta (c June 1964 – February 1965) and KING Radio (March – September 1965). Neither was well-financed or successful, and KING approached Ted Allbeury, who suggested a format based on women's magazines to appeal to housewives. The station's easy listening format was innovative and highly popular with listeners, but criticised by Britain Radio as "Stone Age radio – a series of segmented dirges".

has abstract	Radio 390 (1965–1967) was a pirate radio station on Red Sands Fort, (near Whitstable), a former Maunsell Fort on the Red Sands sandbar. Previously the fort had been used by Radio Invicta (c June 1964 – February 1965) and KING Radio (March – September 1965). Neither was well-financed or successful, and KING approached Ted Allbeury, who suggested a format based on women's magazines to appeal to housewives. Radio 390 was named after the station's wavelength, so listeners would know where to tune. The actual wavelength was 388 metres (773 kHz), but 390 was easier to remember. Like its neighbour, Radio City, Radio 390 took advantage of the fort's layout by erecting a 250-foot vertical mast on an inner tower, guyed to three of the outer towers. This, with additional elevation from the height of the towers, gave a stable and efficient antenna, better than ship-based stations, ensuring coverage of southern England with only a 10 kilowatt transmitter. For advertisers, the station claimed 35 kilowatts. The station's easy listening format was innovative and highly popular with listeners, but criticised by Britain Radio as "Stone Age radio – a series of segmented dirges". An episode of Patrick McGoohan's Danger Man (known in the U.S. as Secret Agent) called "Not So Jolly Roger" was filmed on Red Sands Fort in early 1966, when Radio 390 was broadcasting (a a year before it shut down). The episode was broadcast on 4 July of the same year. (en) Radio 390 was een Engelse zeezender op de middengolf op 773 kHz, 388 m die nog geen twee jaar heeft bestaan. Ted Allbeury was geroepen om de problemen van KING Radio op te lossen en verzamelde gelden om de meeste KING-eigenaars uit te kopen. Hij kwam voor de dag met een heel ander muziekformaat en mikte op de oudere luisteraar, en dat met groot succes. Het vermogen van de zender was 10 tot 30 kW. Radio 390 (zo genoemd naar de gebruikte golflengte) zond uit vanaf een voormalig legerfort op Red Sands in de monding van de Theems. Het Red Sands Fort bestond uit 7 torens die onderling verbonden waren met loopbruggen. Het officiële programma startte op 25 september 1965. Door problemen met de gerechtelijke overheden was het station uit de lucht van 18 augustus 1966 tot 31 december 1966. Er waren betwistingen omtrent de ligging van de forten. Bij laag tij zouden ze binnen de territoriale wateren komen te liggen, wat aan de hand van Navy kaarten ook zou bewezen worden. Op 28 juli 1967 sloot Radio 390. (nl)
