Johnny Lewis (dj/kapitein op de Ross Revenge)) over de bevoorrading (1985) van Laser/Caroline en de spy boat (Dioptric Surveyor) : " Any boats that did come from the UK were contacted by the spy boat and warned if they supplied us they could face an unlimited fine or 2 year's imprisonment. I have to tell you now not ONE boat that came out to us turned back." "We were lucky on the Ross as most of our supplies were coming from Europe at this time so Eurosiege had no affect on us " "Unfortunately Laser's supplies, or most of them, were coming from the UK and after a while the Spy boat realised this and started giving them a hard time - almost giving up on trying to get Caroline off air." "On the 6th November Laser sailed into Harwich, it's fuel and other supplies low, escorted by the newer / bigger spy boat and former sister ship to the communicator, The Gardline Tracker. Lasers days were over." "Eurosiege 85 went on for about another week after this then once again Caroline was left all alone in the North Sea. In closing I think anyone who was out on Caroline during those 3 months would say 'it was so much fun and we all got such a big lift with all the support we kept getting' .... We were not going to roll over and surrender." https://www.rossrevengeplans.co.uk/About/Current/eurosiege85.html

Steve Kent en leuk die spot met Syreeta Wright.

Gewoon doen, eventueel gecombineerd met een easy listening format.

Wat voor een (format) verrassing (geschikt voor de middengolf) heb je nu weer in petto? Easy listening, Instrumental, Classic Soul, Classic Country, Classic Rock, New Wave/Punk, Chanson, Disco of misschien wel Latin/Bossa Nova?

Zoals?

Je bent gelukkig nooit te oud om wat nieuwe kennis op te doen. :-) "Top 40 Pioneer Dan Ingram: ‘The DJ Other DJ’s Tried To Be.’" " From the early ‘60s to the early ‘80s, Ingram was one of WABC’s signature personalities during the heyday of AM top 40 radio at one of its most successful and influential stations" "“Name any of the best air personalities from your hometown, they were listening and stealing from Ingram.” "The National Radio Hall of Fame, which inducted Ingram in 2007, said: “He combined humor, an irreverent style, and impeccable timing and established himself as the leading rock radio personality in North America. Ingram was the master of the ‘talk-up,’ speaking over the introduction and finishing his thoughts at the exact moment the lyrics started.” http://www.insideradio.com/free/top-40-pioneer-dan-ingram-the-dj-other-dj-s-tried-to-be/article_cc1fe1a6-7914-11e8-99d4-5767173154ba.html

Klinkt de laatste dagen een stuk beter.

Op de frequentie van BRT 2 ? En zo dicht bij Mi Amigo op 192, dat is technisch toch niet mogelijk?

Maandag 10-09-90 19.00- 23.00 Ricky Jones 23.00- 3.00 Rico 3.00- 5.00 Colin Ward (tape) 5.00- 7.00 Rico

"The other boat was a tug called "Husky" which had nearly thirty strong looking men on board. As Andy Archer said, if it had come_ to a fight, the twelve people on the Mebo would not have stood much chance." "Hatches were battened down so that if the Mebo was boarded they would not be able to reach the studios." "However the attackers seemed to be more intent on trying to cut the anchor chain so they could tow the ship away" "Spangles Maldoon threatened to use petrol bombs" "the attackers threatened to-spray water over the antenna, but were warned by Carl Mitchell that such a course could lead to the electrocution of all on the tug, including a woman and child" "Further appeals were put out for people with boats in the Scheveningen area_ to come out and help in the fight for Radio Nordsee" "The attacking tug and launch made off into the mist, though at this time it was thought that they might come back again." "It later became known that just before this incident Kees Manders had arranged for the RNI tender Mebo I to be impounded, and a transmitter used for ship-to-shore communications was also seized," "The launch and tug used in the attack were owned by a Mr. Herreman who claimed that RNI owed him money (which he doubtless hoped to recover if he succeeded in seizing the Mebo II.) Listeners were thanked for their response, which jammed telephone exchanges in Zurich and The Hague," (Monitor Magazine)

Dat kan je goed horen op het einde van het fragment (Ed Foster Close down) van Bert.

6 Kilowatt en 15 Kilowatt. Gelukkig klonk het overdag (wel) een stuk beter op de 953 kHz. Radio Caroline 19770309 Mark Lawrence.mp3 https://pixeldrain.com/u/mGjVgWiq ( Pirate Hall Of Fame)

Klopt. " Volgens Mick Jackson is er nieuwe studio apparatuur aan boord van de Ross Revenge gekomen en zijn o.a. dj's Rico en Ricky Jones aan boord, men hoopt zo spoedig mogelijk terug in de lucht (tijdens de avond/nacht) te komen." ( Bron de Caroline Movement Info Line op woensdag 05-09-90) Vanaf maandag 10-09-90 terug in de lucht van 19.00 - 07.00 uur.

Heel bijzonder als dat WZAZ ( met 1 Kilowatt!) zou zijn geweest op 1400 kHz uit Jacksonville/Florida.

Playlist maandag : Aardig wat herkenbaars, tussendoor natuurlijk (ook) de zogenaamde 'tering herrie'. Het huidige Radio Caroline op 648 kHz is gebaseerd op het jaren 70 'format'. 11:33Fleetwood Mac - Little Lies 11:25The Beatles - Fixing A Hole 11:14Blondie - Picture This 11:02Queen - A Kind Of Magic 10:53Fleetwood Mac - Albatross 10:47America - Sandman 10:41David Bowie - Wild is the Wind 10:28Jefferson Airplane - Comin' Back To Me 10:24Yes - And You And I 10:21Buffalo Springfield - Expecting To Fly 10:17Cat Stevens - Father and Son 10:11Golden Earring - When The Lady Smiles 10:07Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young - Almost Cut My Hair 10:02The Cranberries - Zombie 09:57The Doobie Brothers - Minute By Minute Playlist Dinsdag 10.00-11.00: Vrijwel alles herkenbaar. 11:00Steely Dan - FM (No Static at All) 10:53Eagles - Hotel California 10:50The Beach Boys - Good Vibrations 10:45Dire Straits - Money For Nothing 10:40The Who - Quadrophenia 10:34Simon & Garfunkel - The Boxer 10:31Supertramp - Breakfast In America 10:28Ian Dury - Billericay Dickie 10:23Oasis - Don't Look Back In Anger 10:18AC/DC - Whole Lotta Rosie 10:14Sex Pistols - God Save The Queen 10:13Sex Pistols - Pretty Vacant 10:10Motörhead - Motorhead 10:04Golden Earring - Radar Love 10:00The Clash - London Calling Over de signaalsterkte hoor je mij hier niet klagen, keihard dus, maar het geluid is inderdaad niet al te best.

Dat was ook de beste tijd, om de (vele) Ierse vrije radiostations te beluisteren, begin jaren 80. Overdag de Duitse service (gericht op West Duitsland) op de 208 (goed proberen) te ontvangen in het westen, was al een sport op zichzelf, lukte dat niet, dan uitwijken naar de 6090 kHz, die was bijna altijd goed te horen met een heel mooie heldere modulatie, later kwam daar ( met een beetje condities) de 97 MHz FM bij.

Bijzonder want ze zonden (toen) in mono uit. Op 3 FM frequenties: 88,9 MHz + 92,5 MHz + 97,0 MHz. De 92,5 MHz was in gebruik voor de inwoners van Luxembourg zelf.

1 echte nieuwe en je hebt er honderd reeds. :-)

Wat mij betreft zijn Jessie Brandon, Holly Michaels, Jonell Pernula en ook Brandy Lee samen met Erin Kelly, Liz West en Cris Carson met terugwerkende kracht allemaal Laserettes

" De dj’s komen tot en met kerstavond samen met heel Nederland in actie voor het Wereld Natuur Fonds (WWF-NL) om de regenwouden in Zuid-Amerika te beschermen en te herstellen en zo klimaatverandering tegen te gaan." -HEEL NEDERLAND , ha, ha, ha, wat een lachertje.- "kinetische dansvloeren" "dj’s helpen met verkoeling." "vegetarisch" "vleesconsumptie te verminderen" -De goed mensen in actie. :-)- "om zoveel mogelijk geld op te halen voor het Wereld Natuur Fonds om Zuid-Amerikaanse regenwouden te beschermen en te herstellen." -Gaat helemaal goed komen en dat allemaal dankzij Sander Hoogendoorn, Jorien Renkema, Rob Janssen en Frank van der Lende. 😉 "Reclame voor GH in NOS nieuws programmas is schandalig. " -Ook uitgebreid op de NOS nieuwssite NOS.nl , net of er geen belangrijker nieuws is in deze wereld, doen ze toch ook niet voor andere radio stations?

"It's with a heavy heart I write this...reports out of Minneapolis, Radio legend Jonell passed away last week." ( Facebook Tommy Rivers) https://www.facebook.com/Tom.Radio.Rivers/posts/6707515319319691 (OEM)

Vanwege de (hoge) kosten ging hij toch stoppen? Er is ook nog een connectie met Havenstad Radio uit de tijd van Wereldstad Radio Rotterdam. Maar een toen (via de FM) succesvol radiostation uit de jaren 80, kan denk geen deuk(je) meer slaan in een pakje boter, via de middengolf.

Nou ben benieuwd. Klopt, overdag is het gewoon goed. Dus ik begrijp dat Golden Oldies Radio (toch) gewoon doorgaat in 2022 op de 819 kHz?
