Yes, I was only 17 then - now I'm 75 (& feeling it !) I think I was just so pleased when I woke up the next morning, Caroline was still blasting away _ & sad to find 266 & all the others had gone.
MY Loathing of Wilson, Benn & all was complete.
As a teenager, I felt a big chunk of my freedom had been removed by force.
Since then, I've done my best to create radio free from Government control, & support those that did the same, be they at sea or on land.

I suppose my biggest effort, was creating Caroline shortwave. Fighting health problems & cynicism, from some, but great support from others.
I vowed to keep it going, until the Ross revenge arrived in the north sea, & I did.
Thankfully, I was able in 1984 to face up to & cure my major health problem.

Caroline's next struggle for existence, came after 1990 - but thanks to satellite radio & eventually when the internet arrived properly, & a lot of dedication & hard work from Peter Moore, John Lewis, Nigel, Dave Foster, & Johnnie Reece & many others, Caroline was re-born in a more legal way - & is still there now. Legal & pretty free - now from big business pressures & BBC control.
Long may she live - & those who make it happen
