Had a trip out to the Ross Revenge yesterday (14/8) with Mike Webb. First time on board for more than a year. Checking out the paint supplies, ready for next working weekend. Looks like the funnel needs some urgent paintwork TLC. Good tour from Paul Brown. Totally different broadcaster, when doing a live show.
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!!

did you get any infos about the power increase on 648 khz P. Moore has told us on another forum ??
All very hush hush. No confirmed news. The current tx is 3.2kw if run flat out but it looks like they will be using a different tx. The 'word on the street' is a 10kw tx but what power will they run it at?

message from Peter Moore (?) - nicked from another forum - if it is authentic or a fake I don't know - (??)
Posted by Secret Squirrel on September 2, 2021, 8:50 pm, in reply to "Re: Radio Caroline Power Increase"
From the horses mouth: Dear all,
Had Ofcom not suddenly announced our award of more power for 648 then we would have only said the most vague things concerning extra coverage and better reception during the fund raising weekend. Behind the scenes (and let us keep it that way), we have the new transmitter, or rather I have it. It was imported from storage on the Dutch/German border by Howard Beer who drove a big lorry there and then delivered the transmitter and associated accesses to me.
Steve Bradley and Alan Beech, along with me doing the menial tasks, have been working on it for several days including yesterday also Tue and Wed. Present work is to convert it from 828 to 648. It is a Harris DX25 unit. So far, we have run it reliably at 9KW which of course is what we needed the 10K dummy load for. We don't know just now when it will be ready to be loaded up again and taken to Orfordness. Once there it will take at least two days to install it. At the end of the day a lot of money will have been spent and a lot needed to power it.
We do not know ?? why Ofcom specifically mentioned Kent and Sussex as new areas that will thus be covered. Don't be specific about where the signal will in due course reach. Don't be tempted to boast about reaching half of the UK (though we might), or covering substantial amounts of the continent (though we will).
So, for the fundraiser and in your own words, though concisely, the talking points are:
* The first object is to overcome local interference ie power lines, above ground mains cables, routers, fluorescent lighting and electric fences etc.
* Then next object is to reduce interference caused by distant stations on the same or adjacent frequencies.
* The project and new items needed for it has/have been very costly, but these are one-off costs.
* Operating at higher power will be an ongoing cost, indeed very much so.
* Obviously, the signal will go 'further', probably a lot further, thereby allowing a lot of onetime listeners who previously heard us on AM to do so again. This was a stated aim in our licence application.
* Do say that it is more substantial expansion than just taking a new bit of DAB. No other station would be mad enough to expand their AM service, but we are Radio Caroline and we do mad things.
Medium Wave Circle Mike Terry · 9 Std. · Ydun's Medium Wave Info is reporting: September 13, 2021mw Radio Caroline, Have acquired a 25Kw transmitter, which they are going to install at there Orfordness site in Suffolk on 648Khz, permission granted by Ofcom, the regulator. The idea being to overcome interference man made, and to overcome the skip signals from Spain and Slovenia. The signal should be strong in the East, and South of England, and of course in NW Europe. Should come to air sometime before the end of the year. Mike Simmonds (2021-09-13)
