Weak and with a fast fade at the moment here on the south coast, but considerably more listenable all the same.

I am just hoping that OFCOM don't allocate that frequency to any other am applicants. If so- hopefully very low power and miles away from here!!!!!

Manx seems to go omnidirectional now as there is also reception on Enschede (NL) Websdr. what wouldn't be possible if it was still directional

I don't think they're omni, it's just the closure of other services on that frequency makes fringe reception (in any direction) all the more viable.

Fabulous picture of the ship. Now its nearly summer-why don�t the DJ�s broadcast more often from the ship? It seems silly to restrict it to just once a month-when all the equipment etc is there and ready to use.

There are so many reasons BigJohn.....

Availability of presenters (who have families and some with 'real' jobs).
The cost of tender trips to supply presenters and food/drink..
The cost of heating, lighting, food, water, etc., on board.
The work and cost involved in rubbish disposal and waste (all sorts!!) disposal. Nothing 'over the side' in 2018.
The cost and work involved in supplying fresh water and fuel oil.
etc., etc., etc.
So not so 'silly' after all.

But I ASSUME that there is always a �presence� on board for security reasons? Like a sort of �night porter� in a hotel? They must have all the things you mentioned whilst �living� aboard?

Maybe they could double-up and have �live input� into the daily DJ�s shows from land-based studios?

It seems a shame to have no direct contact with the ship other than the Caroline North weekends- when there are �crew� on it 24/7 365 days a year.

Sorry, BigJohn, I tried to explain, from limited personal experience, the realities of life on board. In an ideal world, I would also like to see more radio from the ship but, guess what, we live in a far from ideal world. The current Manx weekends put a lot of pressure on resources and volunteers, in all positions.

When the ship isn't being used there is no one aboard, except for a very strong burglar alarm and security system.

Not quite Coastie, the crew tender skipper and his crew, are fishermen and base much of their activity from the Ross. You may see on some photos some tubs with nets in near the base of the mast. These are in current use and these guys often act as unpaid watchmen in return for not having to keep going back to shore after every fishing trip.
Also, there are some extended working parties of maybe two or three people doing some dirty jobs on board, who could be on for a week at a time.
