Just an update in case you are not aware-but AGAIN this weekend 31st October and 1st November-Radio Caroline are repeating their Radio Caroline North weekend broadcasting via AM with the kind assistance of Manx Radio and its 1368 KHz frequency.

Looks like they are on overnight- so I am going to try to get the signal after 9pm on Saturday 31st. It is possible here as we are towards the west coast.

Barry James is hosting the Sunday morning show (from 6 am) live from the Ross Revenge! Excitement building here!!!! (And its ALL oldies!!!!)

Not sure Alec, I've heard both 10Kw & 20Kw quoted. It's a very directional beam though. I could get a decent anoraky signal here (a few miles west of London) after dark in the car and on ordinary consumer equipment.

Looking forward to tuning in this time.

I'll try via : http://www.remotehams.com/orb.html?id=6143 I think thats the only one in the UK that performs AM
Via Twente there was no reception the last time and http://www.160m.net/ doesn't work on MW

you could try http://websdr.suws.org.uk/ which isn't too far away from me but possibly not that great on MW.

The Ross Revenge is near the mouth of the River Blackwater and is only accessible by boat.

Thanks for posting that Alec and many thanks to Bill Rollins too.

Hmm, looks like some trip hazzards on the main deck there. The brake band on the winch is slightly knackered, the Muster Point looks to be right near the main High Tension Insulator (not that that would matter now they're not using the high powered AM TX) and it sounds like they have Jeremy Clarkson aboard! (The hammering!)

What would be great would be the actual Ross Revenge-moored just off the I.o.M- and broadcasting on Manx Radio's 1368 am frequency from its OWN mast!! (Naturally Manx would have closed down its own service at the time). Wonder if the reception would be as good -assuming it was using the same power????

Last time they used the ManX radio stream - so I think it will be the same this weekend

Last time there was a dedicated Caroline North stream, which was added to www.radiocaroline.co.uk home page during the broadcast.

As I said earlier on in this thread, if I won a sizeable ammount on the lottery, I would pay for the Ross to be towed around to the Fredericia's old anchorage off Ramsey Bay.

Yes-and IF that were to happen-would it be feasible to actually broadcast from the ship's transmitter-like in the good old days???

Possibly, but I think it would be easier and maybe cheaper to keep things as they are.

I've just realised that this is a seperate thread to the other one, so the comment I made isn't on here!!

If no one objects, I think I'll merge the two?

Have just checked the Caroline Website and, as yet, as far as I can see, there is no mention of line up for the coming weekend.
