A very kind offer- and a chance for you to see KBC in action. You might even get 'on the air' You would have a lovely Christmas present courtesy of Eric.

I have it on very good authority that from the first moment that the transmitter was switched on, it has run at the same power throughout. Any differences are down to weather, atmospherics and a bit of sound processing twiddling.
We all have opinions. Mine is mine, yours is yours. Don't tell me yours is mine. I think that I was wrong once, but then again, maybe I was wrong!!
Maybe it's just the sound processing then. Or it could be that today was a particularly good day atmosphere wise. The fading was noticeably less pronounced at 3.30pm - and the sound modulation noticeably better.

The weather/atmospheric conditions have an enormous influence on long distance AM reception especialy of lower power stations

Radio Caroline has announced yesterday evening (Dec. 18th 2017) that they are going to start proper programmes on 648 Khz AM on Friday 22nd December 2017 at 07.00 hours.
Weather and technology permitting, our programmes on 648Khz will commence originating from the Ross Revenge at 7.00AM on Friday 22nd December.
The changed schedule for the day will be :
7am Johnny Lewis 9am Top Fifteen 10am Ray Clark – with the official launch at midday. 2pm Kevin Turner 5pm Resume normal programmes No doubt Bob Lawrence, Martin Fisher and Jerry Wright will personalise their evening shows to mark the day.
Of course we are delighted to have found and secured what must be the best possible AM transmission site for our service. We thank Cobra Mist Ltd for this facility whilst noting that this is a private site which cannot at this time be visited.
So, another date for the Radio Caroline calendar of events and the inevitable question. Where do we go from here?
