This from the Radio Caroline Website:

"Saved by Old Technology!

While we celebrate the modernity of our newly rebuilt studio on land and while we have a bit more 'new technology' to announce imminently, if BT Infinity falls over or the power fails, none of the fancy kit works at all.

And so it was that when the Kent studio went silent on Sunday, the day was saved by one elderly ship, a studio first constructed 32 years ago and a diesel generator scavenged from a Combine Harvester. Oh, and the ships crew of course, none of whom are particularly new.

Those who seek significant Caroline dates can add that Jan 31st was the first time the Ross Revenge has been broadcast on DAB and the first live Flashback broadcast from on board.

All is now functioning at our Kent studio and the crew went ashore at 5am on Mon 1st, to recover and plan the next Manx Radio co-operation at the end of the month."

Well - you can't kill real radio broadcasting from a ship

In the words of that fantastic "old" singer--the great Tina Turner--------

You're simply the best---better than all the rest

Caroline rules the waves yet again.
