  1. Anyone else noticed audio on #RadioCaroline 648 kHz MF is slightly quieter and has less bass than previously?

    I've found this both in the car and using standalone receivers and its been like that both from the studio based broadcasts and this weekend from #RossRevenge - maybe they've changed the #soundprocessing, a piece of equipment has failed somewhere or the RF power has been turned down to save electricity?

  6. What the bosses of #Laser558 ( #1980s #offshoreRadio station) said was at least mostly correct, but what they didn't admit to is funders included Philip Morris (yes, the #BigTobacco company! 🚬 ) - for decades offshore stations were seen as a way of getting round strict anti #tobacco ads rules on European radio) - eventually the EU started leaning on Laser, PM pulled the funding and they closed down not long afterwards ( #RadioCaroline took over the 558 kHz frequency)

  7. "we'll go to sea drinking tea...."

    another one that gets played on #RadioCaroline quite often..

    The "Land of Grey and Pink" is in fact #Kent (where #Caravan are from) - I guess its psychedelic enough if you smoke enough punk weed 😁

    TRhe old boys are still going (at least those who are still alive)

  8. Those of you who of a certain age who grew up in #Britain will understand why this is something I've wanted to do for near 40 years, but never got a chance when I was younger (the school tended to keep these Coombers locked down) - and it just happened that #RadioCaroline were playing this track today 😁

  9. Perhaps the old boy might have had certain mushrooms, or good acid 😁

    ( on a serious note, what he *did* see was the #LV18 hosting #RadioMiAmigo ) #OffshoreRadio #UK #Essex

  10. The #Essex man who set alight the #LV18 lightship (used for a modern #OffshoreRadio station) and lots of other places and vehicles around #Harwich, causing £360 000 worth of damage got 5 years #prison (he will serve 2,5 years of that inside)

  11. #RadioCaroline is now back on 4kW and broadcasting #RadioCarolineNorth from the #RossRevenge (they have an extra day of broadcasting due to the fundraiser) - the #crystalradio (now using a 220 uH inductor and 165 pF variable capacitor at around 78 pF for best tuning) receives the signal good and strong with quite decent volume to the PC line in (this video is taken using the mobile phone microphone, there is 0 amplification or soundprocessing)

  16. I'd forgotten about this event and the short term AM station - I could just about monitor the 1W AM TX on 1206 KHz on the way back from work, could barely hear it but it is there (TX antenna is at #Felixstowe). If I end up going there before they close down, I might take a look out for their bus..

  18. My life as a seadog : 1985 : The Voice of Peace, Tel Aviv

    The prostitute was perched on the edge of my bed. Using the elementary Hebrew I had learned from children’s television, we chatted about her young daughter and the disastrous economic situation in Israel (inflation nearing 1,000%) that had forced her... [continues]
