Radio Caroline International - 50 years ago

[scotty]

Firstly here is Spangles Muldoon's last programme for Caroline South on 24th January 1968.  I heard that he was due to join Caroline North some weeks later, but this didn't happen as the ships were towed away.

And the first hour of the only programme that Roger Scott presented on Caroline North. This was on 2nd March 1968 and was followed by the Don Allen Country Jambouree at 2000 until close at 2200.

 I did  some work on the sound quality of this unique Caroline  North recording from way back March 2 1968, just hours before the Fredericia was towed to Holland. So the first and only Roger Scott show with enhanced sound quality and I made a correction to the speed of this 45 minute recording. Thanks goes to Ian.

Here’s the recording   Please login or register to see this link.

 

And the final Don Allen that same night.

50 years ago on March 2 1968 the final broadcast was made from the legendary MV Fredericia home of the original Radio Caroline later to be known as Caroline North. The final voice heard on Caroline North  on that Saturday was the voice of Don Allen in his C&W Jamboree between 2000 and 2200 hours. At 2200 hours on that Saturday night Caroline North closed down for maintenance on the transmitter. in the early hours of the Sunday the ship was towed to Amsterdam.  Here’s the final show, I did some work on the sound quality for aging anorak ears.

50 jaar geleden op 2 maart 1968 kwam er een definitief einde aan de uitzendingen van Radio Caroline North vanaf de Fredericia voor de kust van het eiland Man in de Ierse Zee. Hier het laatste programma teweten de Don Allen C&W jamboree. Dit programma werd op die laatste zaterdag avond uitgezonden tussen 2000 en 2200 uur, na het programma volgde de dagsluiting voor Caroline North, enkele uren later zou het schip van zee worden gesleep om tot 1972 in Amsterdam in de mottenballen te liggen. Daarna volgde de sloop. Caroline North was feitelijk de oorspronkelijke Caroline welke op 28 maart 64 begon met uitzendingen. In de winters van 66/67 en 67/68 was de ontvangst  s ochtends  en laat in de avond op 259 prima te noemen. Zo hadden we hier in Groningen dus de mogelijkheid twee Carolines te beluisteren. Heb de geluidskwaliteit bewerkt voor ouder wordende anorak oren.
