but then they have to broaden the beam I think - Just look at Radio Murski Val 648khz - with asserted 10KWs omnidirectional they cover whole Europe with an excellent signal at night

Sadly I can't imagine them spending money to do that. Also, don't forget, Ofcom may re-allocate the frequency, when the BBC hand back the licences.

It would not surprise me if Radio Caroline, in return for continued/increased airtime, used their expertise to change the beam direction. RC's main tx/aerial man works full time in that industry and has the necessary accreditation and may choose to volunteer his time to achieve this. Just a thought....no more!

I think that you are right to link it to the other addresses at the bottom of your post.
Yes, - but what is all this good for - whereto does it aim ? - a pretty hopeless endeavour I guess... wouldn't it be better for Neil G. (?) to accept to have lost the game and try to find his peace ? - I think it would
I think these people are living in the past. There is no viable alternative to the present Radio Caroline. At least we have a sustainable set up - with am broadcasts to boot.

have you got any idea who is the real and legal owner of the Ross Revenge - as far as I know the legal ownership is pretty nebulous and also Peter Moore and his staff is only a kind of caretaker
Hi Alec- To answer your question 'no' . Legal ownership of the 'name' is very unclear. Who Peter Moore is and where he came from I do not know. I know he is disliked and he can be very aggressive towards other people. Whether they are all working together I don't know. But I do think they have done well to get where they are today. 2 webstream services- a loyal and consistent listenership- and a legal AM frequency that can be widely heard across the UK. I know that the RCN team have sent on-air messages to Ronan- who was listening in the Republic of Ireland. Whether that signifies legal recognition- I don't know. Ronan is not a well man.
From Grimsby Websdr.-chatboard: "18 Nov 2201z ::ffff:86.170.91.138: Regarding Carolin 648, tests will resume during this week, with the launch being next Sunday on all accounts. My sources have said Ofcom have told Caroline to drop the mod/power as it was getting out too well."
if its rumour, fake or true - I have no idea - lets wait and see (hear)...

Peter Moore does not tolerate fools at all and can't stand time wasters. Those are the people that dislike him because he is not easily taken in. The legal ownership is now very clear. A legal process was conducted, earlier this year and as PM said at the Clacton Summer event, 'WE' now own the Ross Revenge. However it is not apparent if the ownership is with PM personally, or an existing group or a new limited company.

thank-you #6 for the info !! would be still interesting to know if Ronan is still part of the game in a way - not only as 'spiritus rector'

Ronan plays no part in anything that happens with Caroline, today. Sometimes, when deciding a course of action, Ronan's philosophies may come in to play if a 50/50 choice has to be made. Everybody involved does whatever they do for free and in the knowledge that it is for the greater good and preserving as much of the post 1967 spirit of freedom, without harming anyone else, as possible. LA if you like. Being legal restricts some of the freedoms but not the attitudes of those involved.

Barry announced last night that he would be broadcasting from the Ross over the Christmas period. Wonder if this means they will also be on 648? We will have to wait and see- but hopefully there will be enough time to sort out the 4G link by then

Posted by Paul Watt on November 22, 2017, 11:54 am on GS board: "Not much news apart from all the paper work is being processed and the radio caroline transmitter is still on site (Orfordness) and they used an old landrover which was on site to get the tx in place "
Sorry to hear that Ofcom have told them to drop the power. That's why I said the reception reports were a two-edged sword. We should all have said 648 was barely audible where we were!! And if they DO drop the power- they are going to get swamped by Slovakia-even in the designated area!!
