Possibly- when you consider that Dublin is NOT in the UK. The IoM IS I think- but it is self-governing. I know that rich folk live on the island because more lenient tax laws apply there rather than in the UK. Same goes for the Channel Islands- and I guess places like Monaco.

Manx 1368 khz comes in pretty well via this Irish KiWi : http://emeraldsdr.ddns.net:8073/ (about 200 kms away from IoM and also inland) I guess reception should still be possible on the Northern Spanish or Portuguese coast - Would be interesting to know
This is a KiWi-remote receiver : http://argyllsdr.ddns.net:8073/ on the West Coast of Scotland At night 648khz Radio Caroline comes in loud and clear, nearly no fading (really with 1KW only ???) - distance about 500 kms I assume there must be a relais Tx on one of these Island (??) as there is nothing (only Spanish station) on the Irish KiWi much more south Of course also 1368khz Manx Radio is coming in loud and clear day and night

Listening to the Caroline North Bx last week, the reception was a LOT better than it's been for a while.

I suppose those TT events could take precedence as they only periodically occur. As far as I can see- Caroline Flashback and Radio Caroline are not one and the same - so no contravention of the Ofgem broadcasting licence would occur. In fact- the Flashback channel could morph into Caroline North Flashback- and carry adverts - even those not confined to Isle of Man businesses. I suspect that the Manx Radio am broadcasts mostly mirror the Island’s FM and Dab outputs- so in this day and age may be considered “ superfluous’ - but not to us anoraks!!!!

Alec- That wouldn’t work. They wouldn’t remember the era. All they would do is play tracks from ‘greatest hits’. Compilations of the period- I.e. boring and overplayed - narrow and predictable music mix.
As an example- Cookie played Love Me- Love My Dog today- how many ‘ younger’ presenters would ever be aware that such a track existed? It doesn’t appear on any ‘greatest hits’ albums. They would be ignorant of - what I think- is a GREAT track.
BY the way Cookie- and I know this is going slightly off topic- when you are on - would it be possible to have your pic in the Big L gif? Only- I notice that Caroline Flashback do on theirs.

Yes - I agree but somehow they have to think about the next generation i.e. the offspring - you see yourself how fast times go by - it should be about a try ...
Yes- a good example would be Chris Williamson of Manx Radio’s Carnaby Street. He’s of a different generation to us- but his show is pretty authentic of that era- and his music choice is excellent.
