Default Re: Radio Caroline to return on Medium Wave.

I’m not bothered about the music content, I can listen to whatever I want on Spotify and tx to my radio but this gets my interest in ‘repairing’ radios going again.

I didn’t listen to Caroline but my first memories of listening to pop on the radio would be outside with a Benkson stuck to my ear in the early 70’s (you can’t do that with internet radio, even if you had a mobile signal you’d use up all your data allowance) probably listening to radio 1 and I remember listening to Luxembourg under the covers!

I don’t know the reason why they are doing this now maybe trying to reach a bigger audience as I expect many will not use internet radio maybe targeting drivers too. Or are they doing it just for nostalgia. Whatever I hope it continues but just like it is so I can struggle to get a decent signal just like listening to Luxembourg
