Sure, I took the secondary duty of OIC "Radio Sharjah" on when I arrived in early '65. My predecessor was the Education Officer, "Jake" Timms(?). We used the spare ATC transmitter to broadcast to the southern Gulf. We even had advertising to fund the operation. I recall a Corporal who was a keen member of FRS going to the Sheik (of Dubai) with a proposal to start a TV station in Dubai. Never did hear if he was successful.

Nice to see the thread active again.
