Or make it half an hour & include the 1975 "Switch it off" raid Gerry, as well !
Yes, I thought it was great when Chicago coaxed the little TX back to life a month or so later - I was staying in Hemsby at the time on the Norfolk coast. Previous Message
Should have been 24 then, Freddie.
The raid was one of the most significant moments in offshore radio in my opinion. But who am I to say? Previous Message
I suppose you can only squeeze so much in a 23 history Previous Message
Very nice presentation.
Just a shame there is no mention of the 19th August 1989 raid on Caroline (interruption) and the resuming of broadcasts in October. Previous Message
A well researched 23 minute history of offshore radio to the UK with audio from each station has been uploaded to YouTube by TV and Radio Timelines:
"A visual history of the UK's offshore radio stations told primarily through logos, jingles and broadcast extracts. In celebration of the sixtieth anniversary of the launch of regular programming from Radio Caroline on 28th March 1964, this video presents an overview of offshore “pirate” radio stations, the target audience of which was - or included - the United Kingdom"
