Default Re: Radio Caroline to return on Medium Wave.

I tried listening around 10pm last night, but all I could hear was a Spanish sports station with a bit of music playing in the background ("My Brother Jake" by Free) which I assumed was Radio Caroline. There was a constant flapping noise audible as the two stations interfered. Reception was too poor to be useful.

(Tested using a Sony ICF-SW7600G domestic portable receiver. Location: High Wycombe, Buckinghamshire)

Around 9am this morning, a weak but stable signal, no interference from the Spanish station, but a fair amount of background noise ("static"). Definitely of entertainment value. I heard some fairly random choices of pop songs including "The Power Of Love" by Huey Lewis, and the announcement requesting reception reports to a P.O. Box in Maldon, Essex as well as online. The links are here:

Reception reports: http://www.radiocaroline.co.uk/#am_reception.html

About the AM test transmissions: http://www.radiocaroline.co.uk/#home.html

I expect these links will stop working once regular programmes start.

And yes, it went silent at 11am this morning (Remembrance Sunday)
