We've got thunder in the area so I may have to shut down the Yellsound stream if the radio starts complaining too much!

And so that completes YellsoundFM's coverage of the Manx Radio 1368 feed of Radio Caroline North. See you next month!

It was a GREAT weekend ,eh? Perhaps the best so far. I have tweeted them to suggest they apply for temporary am licenses for the recurring weekends. Live from the Ross- using the existing mast. I know the aerial is non-existent at this time- but am assuming a suitable one could be set up on the boat?

If they have the use of the Manx Radio 1368tx, then they may won't be allowed a seperate AM frequency to run concurrently, but, who knows!

Well Ofcom have opened the bidding for the possibly higher powered AM comunity licences at long last, so who knows what migth happen? A nice low frequency, at say 500W from the Ross could cover a fair distance.

If Radio Caroline wants this licence and the paperwork is complete, it looks like a strong possibility that it would be granted, given the conditions.

That's a big IF, but yes, I'd imagine so. I think the main problem most potential applicants would have is finding a suitable Tx site, especially for a lower frequency antenna. Caroline not only have the site, but also a mast in place. Just needs rigging.

AND -if necessary-they have the ability to re-locate that site to one that is suitable.

It could be that they cease transmissions from Manx if that would enable a 500W permanent licence to be allocated to the Blackwater site. If it was either/or I would tend to go for the permanent 500W option.
Of course whether it would be the regular Caroline or the Flashback version remains to be seen.
Maybe a mixture of the two?

The 500w was just a figure out of my imagination. What power would be allowed/needed for a particular frequency to make it viable is another thing entirely. The point being, frequency, makes a HUGE difference on the power required.

Consider this: Gold on 1548 uses 95Kw to cover the same area as LBC on 1152 at 23Kw. All figures from memory, so I could be a bit out.

Re. the service, I'd imagine a mixture of the standard service and FB would work well. Re. the Manx Tx, Peter Moore stated elsewhere, the current agreement only goes to the end of the year. Whether that is extended will no doubt be subject to negotiation.

It could well be in Manx's favour to extend the agreement insofar as, off the island, how many people knew of Manx Radio before they let Caroline use their TX? Whereas now, curious people may be tempted to go and have a listen to 219 (1386) when Caroline isn't on, just to see what Manx Radio is about.

Well, let's hope it is extended. I suspect it will be. But, as PM alluded to, a lot probably depends on the politics regarding the future of the AM Tx. Ain't that always the way!

Caroline DJs will join the crew on the Ross Revenge and broadcast from the studio on the ship on Saturday 29th and Sunday 30th October 2016 and visitors on those days will be able to meet the DJs. The Saturday is booked up but there are few spaces on the Sunday trips.
