He wanted the Ross to be called ' Imagine ' in honour of John Lennon but this did not happen.
He wanted the ship to be painted pink as this is the colour of healing. The crew rebelled and painted it signal red.
He wanted a Gold music format but the crew ignored that and reverted to album music.
He wanted to use 558 and Peter C put it on 319.
Mostly he said that Caroline could not just 'come back' , it had to be bigger and better than before. The mast was in part built to suit 558 but also to be visually impressive. It surely was impressive and then it fell down and put the station out of business. Well done.
Ronan always ( aside from his vendetta against Harold Wilson ) kept away from politics and politically motivated gestures. He wanted to fly under the radar and not make waves.

On another forum, someone has compared The Ross's original oversized 300ft mast, to being symbolic of Ronan's finger - up to the British establishment.
Do you think there was any truth in that, Peter? (& others)
