First full day on the air with the two presenters that brought professionalism to the return of Radio Caroline. It's a big file and suffers from periods of interference, but not too bad. 1000-1400 Tony Gareth 1400-1500 Andy Archer. They had worked together at Radio Nova in Dublin earlier in the year. https://www.mediafire.com/file/wnj97vfiejpry1z/19830821+1000-1400+TonyGareth+1400-1500+AndyArcher.mp3/file

Some more about short-wave and the raid from Steve Conway (written in 1999): "The Caroline "organisation" was informed by continental sources (Willy the captain of the tender, Fred Bolland and the Dutch guys from the 819 organisation) of the fact that the authorities, especially the French ones, were very unhappy with the 6215 kHz frequency." [...] "A few weeks after WMR came on the air, I saw official letters of St. Lis Radio with complaints about constant jamming on 6215 kHz. They localised the signal’s origin as of somewhere in the North Sea, originating from the MV Ross Revenge. They asked the French authorities in Paris to intervene. Then the French were informed (I suppose by the Dutch) that the Ross was tendered from Dunkerque." [...] "The French officers asked Captain Willy and Fred Bolland to stop jamming the 6215 kHz frequency. The two guys were very afraid because they never had troubles with French police before." [...] So they warned a lot of people within the Caroline and 819/WMR organisations. Then Captain Willy and Fred Bolland asked Peter Chicago to change the SW frequency, but WMR continued on 6215 kHz."

Eind van de middag/begin van de avond (online!) nog een uurtje naar geluisterd. 🙂 Frank Sinatra, Rosemary Clooney, Peggy Lee, Astrud Gilberto, Pat Boone enz... Mooi (ook) dat zo'n goed boek gewoon online staat. " Selling the Sixties examines the boom of pirate broadcasting in Britain. Using two contrasting models of unauthorized broadcasting, Radios Caroline and London, Robert Chapman situates offshore radio in its social and political context. In doing so, he challenges many of the myths which have grown up around the phenomenon. The pirates’ own story is framed within an examination of commercial precedents in Europe and America, the BBC’s initial reluctance to embrace pop culture, and the Corporation’s eventual assimilation of pirate programming into its own pop service, Radio One.'' https://monoskop.org/images/6/65/Chapman_Robert_Selling_the_Sixties_The_Pirates_and_Pop_Music_Radio.pdf

Afkomstig uit een ander forum de messcherpe kijk op Caroline blunders van de Ierse maverick door P Moore.... Caroline was put out of business when the big mast fell as it was a daft thing to build in the first place. A shorter mast or two masts may not have been so impressive but Ronan prioritised image over longevity. Had a sensible robust mast been built and if the money thus saved ( that which did not end up in Lichtenstein ) was used to keep the ships registration fully in place, there may have been no raid. I do not know 100% if it was a stupid idea to broadcast the SW on a marine distress frequency but I guess it did not help. But that was Ronan, ducking and diving, telling lies, keeping secrets, never letting the right hand know what the left hand was doing, always dreaming that the next mad scheme would be the one that worked. In 2006 after softening me up by praising my long term efforts, he switched to blagging me in to putting 50% of the supporters money in to a Lichtenstein company under his remote control. When I refused, his anger was frightening. PM. en het gaat verder...... Ronan wanted 558Khz from the outset. So many times he told me ' Hey, baby, 50K on 558 '. This was his dream outcome and those around him said that the masive mast was needed to perfectly suit that frequency. But as Tom Anderson sabotaged Ronan's wish for a Gold format, Peter C also decided to use 319 ( it is a good frequency that we have used before ! ). So, much time passed and only the capitulation of Laser made 558 available. I am not a marine architect but just work on common sense. Ronan was driven by ' why not ' but my mantra is ' what if '. To be fair, Ronan may not have thought that the UK would extend territorial limits and nobody expected the 87 hurricane. As I am sure everyone knows, ships ' pitch ' fore and aft and ' roll ' side to side. The rolling motion is more extreme and Revenge is only 38ft 6ins wide. With the weight of the tower and the pendulum effect, the forces acting on it were extreme and it was entirely reliant on the side stays. Now I don't know ( maybe others can advise ) if the stays were ever tensioned and made to match the tension on each opposite stay. I suspect not. I speculate ( only that ) that the hurricane fractured some insulators on the port side and de-tensioned the stays which is why the mast fell over the stbd side. Anyway it was in the sea. Ronan said that an identical mast would be made and flown out by helicopter, which just showed that he had nil knowledge of engineering. But the ' what if ' factor came and bit him as he knew that if the ship went inshore anywhere, it would be impounded by creditors due to the way the project was funded in the early 80's. So Revenge was trapped at sea. Then came the conundrum of who would pay for any new mast of any design. If money was salted away in Lichtenstein this could not be admitted. So I guess that Lotto 6/49 were persuaded to fund the miracle Valcom glass fibre tower that was 100% unsuitable and failed beyond repair the first time it was erected. Had it been structurally sound, it was doomed anyway being rated for only 5KW. Nobody held their hands up to say they thought it would handle 50KW. So it came down to the Aussie who liked to be called Mick Dundee to find secondhand towers in a metal scrap yard at £250 a section. Nobody congratulated him. When the station was operating again it was soon raided, as discussed in a previous posting. A long saga of things getting buggered up time and time again. I am still cursed by 500+ tons of cement in the hull that was poured to counter balance the sodding mast. Now she sits far too deep at the stern that will hamper dry docking, while I hope I don't need a sharp intake of breath when a surveyor orders me to break up and remove the cement to check the condition of the tank tops. Ah, the romance of radio from the ocean ! PM. Vooral het verzoek van R o R in 2006 om 50% van de supporters donaties op de rekening in Liechtenstein te storten was shocking. De Ier had de controle over de rekening.

Yes, I happened to see a 'Ross Revenge appeal' video the other day and was surprised to hear the narration mention that the big mast was "unwise" - it seems that is now the party policy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YhVowvOxC3k It's claimed on the Offshore Echo's website that the big mast (which was probably around 270' tall, not 300') was "designed by the engineering department of the University of Barcelona". No idea if there's any truth behind the claim. I believe that few people could have predicted the extension to territorial waters. The Ross moved to a more exposed position only 4 months before the Great Storm. Steve Conway claims in his book that 5 days after the storm, an unusual tender ('Eileen' captained by someone called Sammy) arrived. Then he recounts a comedy of errors. Although supplies and staff were transferred, the Eileen left after 10 minutes. There was a rigger and welder on the tender, but the captain kept them hidden and just sailed back to land. The captain had been paid "a substantial extra sum" to stay alongside the Ross Revenge for the hours needed for the work to take place. Then back on land, the rigger broke his leg and forgot to tell Cosmic Johnson what had happened. So those on land assumed that the survey and repairs were done. Those on the ship assumed the workmen were yet to arrive. "The only person who knew what had happened was the tender-skipper Sammy, who just took our extra money...". Regarding the claims about Ronan O'Rahilly. Well he's not here to defend himself, but I always understood the ship was owned by Grothan Steemship Lines, Inc. of Panama. I would suspect the owner or part-owner of this company would be O'Rahilly. Now that he's gone, this begs the question: to which person does the ship now belong?

Dank je wel Henk, ik wordt er bijna verlegen van 😊 Er is ook een stream, die het niet altijd doet maar hij is er wel. https://stream2.mfmstreaming.nl/cp/widgets/player/dj/?p=8042 Heb hem aangezet nu. Theo

Wel nog de periode 1983/1984, Caroline Overdrive en af een toe nog een dj die een beetje alternatieve muziek bracht, meestal later in de avond. Dat hing een beetje van de dj af, maar het album format was opgedoekt en Peter Philips bracht wat mij betreft helaas het slechte kiddie format. Achteraf het 'mooiste' wat kon gebeuren. Zou ik vroeger denk wel leuk gevonden hebben, maar nu vind ik het een beetje kinderachtig gedoe, met tegenwoordig meestal een b team van dj's en vaak dezelfde plaatjes, in de verste verte lijkt het niet op het originele Radio Caroline North, wat een hip radio station was in de sixties.

Radio Caroline maakte een comeback vanaf de Ross Revenge na het zinken van de Mi Amigo, maar toch gaven de Caroline programma's vanaf de Ross me niet de "kick" als die ik in de periode 1972-1980 kreeg toen ze van de Mi Amigo uitzonden. Natuurlijk was het lekker luisteren naar o.a. Johnny Lewis (Stephen Bishop in de Mi Amigo tijd), Peter Philips, het was prachtige radio, maar... hoe moet ik het zeggen? Het miste de "spanning" van de Mi Amigo tijd, misschien komt het doordat we dachten dat de Mi Amigo na elke storm naar de armen van Koning Neptunes kon gaan? Of was het dat de programma's van Caroline, vanaf 1985, professioneler waren?? Misschien hebben jullie hier ook een mening over? Kijk, de Mi Amigo heeft het niet overleefd, maar misschien is het zeemansgraf van het schip beter dan terecht komen bij de scheepssloper, maar toch had dat schip meer magie dan de Ross, althans volgens mijn kijk. Uiteraard is het heel mooi dat het schip, de Ross, nog bestaat en er nog altijd programma's van het schip komen. Maar, de huidige programma's van Radio Caroline North zijn heel leuk om naar te luisteren en ik schakel ook altijd (via internet) in, maar de huidige (voormalige Monique/819) studio heeft helemaal niets, maar dan ook niets met het zeezender verleden te maken. Misschien zou het leuk zijn om nog eens de oude Caroline studio met het oude Gates Dualux mengpaneel te gebruiken en een weekeindje in old-fashioned mono te gaan.... dat heeft geschiedenis, verleden etc... Al met al, na 19 Augustus dacht ik dan ook echt dat het afgelopen was met Caroline... en, heel verassend, waren ze in Oktober weer terug en in 1990 waren er zelfs leuke programma's met o.a. Rico, Andy Bradgate, Caroline Martin, Neil Gates.. Toch wil ik de Ross koesteren want het is het enigste ECHTE radio zendschip dat nog bestaat, de Jenny Baynton in Nederland is ook een zendschip, maar is nooit actief geweest in de zeezender periode en ligt haar potentieel meer bij het "oud lichtschip" dan "oud zendschip". Over de "Norderney" spreken we niet, dat is alleen nog maar een stalen omhulsel waar nog de woorden "Veronica" op staat, meer niet. Ook neem ik mijn petje af voor Peter Moore die het hele Caroline zaakje toch maar in leven houd, na de stranding van de Ross in 1991 gaf eigenlijk niemand nog 1 cent voor het schip en station. Groet Henk Kruize

Dat heb je nu ruimschoots goed gemaakt Theo, en prachtig AM station met leuke muziek en een prachtige hardware om dat uit te zenden. Groet TPOT (via internet KIWI SDR) luisteraar Henk Kruize

Kom er maar in Jaap ( SoulSeek) De Vries. 😉

No idea

maar nu wel 😃 Theo

Heb hem in mijn favorieten geplaatst. Helaas komt er nu niet veel uit.

Martin, Deze opname is van vrijdag 3 maart 1978. Ik hoorde Joost de Hilversum 3 Troetelschijf draaien van The Babys : Piece of the action. Dit nummer was de Troetelschijf in de week van 25 februari tot en met 4 maart 1978. Gerard

This appears to be correct, some of the details are available if you search for "Smith v All Other Persons Claiming to be Interested in the MV ‘Ross Revenge", e.g.: https://www.cbp.com.au/insights/insights/2017/december/shipping-news-december-2017 "The "Ross Revenge" was a fishing trawler built in 1960 which had been converted to act as a pirate radio station. Between August 1983 and November 1990, she was used as a base for "Radio Caroline" and "Radio Monique". She had been owned by Grothan Steamship Lines, which is registered in Panama. Since 1985 the plaintiff had acted as a volunteer providing food and necessaries to the vessel and raising funds for her maintenance. The vessel had grounded in 1991 and he had raised funds to pay for her salvage. Thereafter the plaintiff had effectively been the manager and custodian of the vessel and had raised considerable sums in that regard. He had attempted to make contact with the owners and the then mortgagee of the vessel with no success. In these proceedings he sought a declaration that he was the legal owner of the vessel and was entitled to be registered as such under the Merchant Shipping Act 1995. The Admiralty Registrar in the United Kingdom, Jervis Kay QC, determined that the court had jurisdiction to determine the claim and had the power to grant a declaration and that ownership of the property could be abandoned by the owner, the lapse of time capable of being evidence of such an intention. Accordingly, he drew an inference that the previous owner had abandoned the vessel and the plaintiff had taken on ownership." Still, it may explain why O'Rahilly was asking for money in 2006, as he likely would have considered that he owned the ship and it was still some years before Moore took any action regarding this. Also interesting that the above mentions a "mortgagee". Perhaps O'Rahilly could have been that, rather than "owner"? I seem to remember hearing that the "Canadian directors" (probably Nelson Skalbania and/or others who were involved with International Betcan Ltd.) took ownership of the ship, perhaps via Grothan Steemship Lines, Inc., for a substantial sum in the early 1980s. Then O'Rahilly (or one of his companies) bought it back in instalments, or was supposed to. (Or maybe it was the other way around).

Tja hij probeerde het gewoon. Ik krijg de indruk dat de mensen met wie hij zaken heeft gedaan achteraf niet erg blij waren. Sylvain Tack is ook helemaal uitgekleed door Ronan. Sylvain kocht 50% van de MV Mi Amigo van Ronan in augustus 1973, maar draaide uiteindelijk nog voor alle kosten op.

Zojuist afgerond de opnames van de Radio London RSL 2023. Voor de downloadlink kun je een verzoek indienen via een PB.

Ja, zal nooit gebeuren. Boek staat hier sinds de eerste uitgave toendestijds al in de kast.

The raid on the Ross Revenge may have been 34 years ago, but it will always be remembered as a bleak day in the history of radio.

Beste MartinJA, The quality is ace, is it an FM recording? The news is read by Eric Post. Mvg, John C

John, I see now that I am wrong. They were not broadcasting on 192, but on 259 meters. The tests are without mentioned a station-name, but as from the 6st January 1974 they called them (again) Radio Seagull. Sorry for Roel and Vincent for giving the wrong information. Gerard

John, It is 192 and not Radio Caroline, because at that time the DJ's on board didn't mentioned the name Caroline. They only say that the test programmes are coming from the MV Mi Amigo. And 192 is the frequency they broadcast at that time. Gerard

In fact I used to listen regularly to Radio Netherlands on 5955 kHz (very powerful signal in the UK), so it does seem strange that they would use that frequency. Anoraks UK of 1st November 1987 gives more details on this: "Radio Caroline 558 was heard on Wednesday [28th October] on 6220 kHz, and again on Thursday [29th October], on 5955 kHz. We are not sure whether these transmissions actually emanated from the ship, or were just tests from another location. 5955 kHz was audible only for a short time in between broadcasts from Radio Nederland who use this frequency with a 500kW transmitter!" https://www.dxarchive.com/pdf/auk/auk_issues_183-187_november_1987.pdf

5955, ?? I don't think so. This was a Radio Netherlands major channel used with 500 kW from Holland (Flevo)
