Why not dream? The apparently impossible has resulted in offshore radio on more than one occasion.

We all have opinions. Mine is mine, yours is yours. Don't tell me yours is mine.

Exactly! How many people would have (or maybe HAVE) dreamed that one day Radio Caroline North would use Manx Radio's TX?

As the mainstream media desert AM it becomes more and more attainable for the small players-like Caroline. Look at the resurgence of vinyl among 'purists'. And talking of purists like me- we think AM lends itself to the music of the 60's and early 70's. Shorter but simpler and hummable ditties of the pirate era. I think the jingles and sixties sounds just lend themselves so much to the much mellowed am modulation. There will always be a group of listeners for this format and mode of delivery.

On the subject of the Manx transmitter- if the power were to be 20Kw would this provide coverage to Manchester and Liverpool? I think a viable case could be made to bring Caroline North (as it was) to these large and populous conurbations.

It can reach further than that! The power of the Manx transmitter may be 20kw, but I don't think they run it at full chat. I remember that, going back to the 70's the Queen visited the Isle of Man and on that occasion Manx Radio raised their transmitter power to its fullest so that people in London could hear their commentary of the Queen's visit.

This is a video about the Ross Revenge inside - taken 1 week ago and already deleted from youtube - but I had downloaded it before it got pulled off - watching it makes you dizzy though : https://we.tl/nM14lY2PQz
https://we.tl/nM14lY2PQz
From this video to me the Ross looks rather messy inside and disappointing - maybe thats the reason why the video got pulled off from youtube by the owner
(the Link will work for 7 days only ! )

Mike Terry on FB :
19. September um 19:35

Radio Caroline North returns over the weekend of 24th-25th September live from the Ross Revenge.
The Caroline story continues into 1988 when the crew built a new aerial system to replace the original mast, only to see much of their work destroyed by armed raiders the following year. We'll hear from some of those who were onboard.
And of course we've more great prizes to give away from our friends at Tiptree, preserves of distinction. Your emails are always welcome at memories@radiocaroline.co.uk.
So join us this weekend online and on 1368AM courtesy of Manx Radio.

Thanks Alec. This is a great time of year to DX the am signal. You get excellent results just prior to dusk-even when it's quite bright. I used to get the old pirates with very little fading or distortion. Looking forward to next weekend -I have 1368 already primed in to my car radio tuner.

Do you know whether the Internet stream for this service is still a dedicated one? Hopefully it will be carried on the Caroline Flashback stream at some point.

Chances are, it'll be the dedicated stream.

h i BigJohn - I think it will be more or less the same streams as before (so just scroll back to the prior programs i.e. streaming links on this thread) and probably Coastie will set up an aditional stream from Manx Radio again

Coming in quite well here after about 19:40 on 1386. The modulation seems to have improved on last time.
