Yes, I remember the start of RNI on 186 - Roger Day, Johnnie Scott & Morse code
Just devastated, I was 12. Turned on the radio to listen to Roger Day on the breakfast show and silence. Then saw the evening news.
Not happy until RNI arrived in 1970.
The date when the two radio Caroline ships were towed to Amsterdam, & were silenced for 4 long years. Your memories & feelings from that time?
Mine were of outrage that something many of my age group loved, had been removed - we blamed the Labour Government, for making Caroline's existence very difficult. It led me into Building & operating a MW TX or two, creating Anglia Radio, Radio Essex & a few others. A day or so in court & meeting other like minded rebels
Here are some of Peter Chicago's memories:

Songs I remember from then: Green Tambourine, Pictures of Matchstick men, Sitting in the dock of the bay (Most appropriate), Hold your head up.
