All I can add is that the Caroline internet stream did NOT have any continuity from Manx Radio-so I guess that was what was broadcasting from the ship.

I get the feeling that the problem was at Caroline's end because of the length of time it took for an announcer to go on air and announce what was happening next.

With the strong gale force winds we had on the west coast here, it wouldn't surprise me. I know some areas of mid and north Wales lost power and were without it for quite a few hours.

The relaying of the AM output via Yellsound will be delayed in going on air cos I'm weather bound in Shetland and can't get out til at least Saturday morning.

Please don't bleat / moan / criticise about the top Two streams are not from Caroline, I know they are not. They are direct from Manx Radio. The last one is the link that is on the Caroline (Viewpoint) web page, hence low bit rate. Have a nice weekend.
