Good afternoon
We have had an extremely busy 3 months since my last update. Amongst other things, we have been dealing with an influx of press enquiries surrounding our recent application for an FM broadcast licence. Just some of the press coverage can be seen at:

And whilst not strictly press coverage, the original Government publication which sparked the interest:

I must admit I have been caught slightly of guard by the sheer volume of enquiries from all around the world. If we can ignite that kind of passion with the finished product, I think we can safely call it a success. On that note, if anyone is interested in becoming part of the Island’s radio revolution please do get in touch.
Since my last update we have also been hard at work installing communications equipment onboard the Isle of Man Steam Packet Company’s new fast craft Manannan. It is really a pleasure to be part of such an inspiring project, which turns out to be the largest conversion project ever undertaken on an aluminium fast craft.
I am also pleased to announce that we will shortly be launching a brand new business venture. Whilst details are still under wraps, I can say that we have £100, 000 to literally give away in the first 6 months of operation. Stay tuned to the blog and be the first person to find out how.
That’s all for now. I hope to update you all soon.
