Default Re: Radio Caroline to return on Medium Wave.

To be pedantic, Caroline was the first British pirate to actually go on air. Unless anyone know otherwise, the first offshore station was either Radio Nord or Radio Sud, not sure which. These broadcast to Scandinavia. Second on the air, IIRC, was R. Veronica, which was probably continuously on air longer than any other offshore pirate station. Be that as it may, can any modern sdtation replicate the 'pirate sound & style? IMHO, the only way they could do that is to broadcast no music newer than that issued in 1967, played on turntables, with original 60s jingles, plus commercials and DJs presenting in true 60s style.
