Heard earlier this afternoon on #RadioCaroline - 11:29 long #ProgressiveRock track with a sample of #GretaThunberg 's speech in the middle of it from Karnataka (a band based in #Wales, not to be confused with the place in India) - I thought it was something from 1970s until I heard Greta's voice and even then thought it had been randomly added to the the music, but its a brand new track, released in July

Heard an interesting "fascinating trivia fact" on #RadioCaroline this afternoon - instead of the usual "national underpants day" type stuff you get on other stations, the presenter went into quite some detail about how #Jakarta #Indonesia is sinking due to #ClimateChange, and the whole capital is being relocated to #Borneo - an island shared between #Indonesia, #Malaysia (I have extended family who live there) and #Brunei

Some here might want to give a listen: see 1st comment for more info ~ from “Medium Wave Radio Station Listening 1” FB group.

The next #RadioCaroline North broadcast is happening between 11th-13th August during the first three days of our annual Fundraiser.

You'll hear some fine music from the 60s – early 90s over this mammoth live broadcast.

Other dates for these special broadcasts are:

16/17 September
14/15 October
18/19 November
09/10 December

I am quite pleased with how this turned out - there isn't anything on MW with a strong enough signal to be received on a crystal set that I would want to listen at present to other than #RadioCaroline (only other stations seem to be sportsball from the BBC) so even with the limited tuning range of this circuit it does exactly what I want it to (and with surprisingly good sound quality!)

I got out the soldering iron and built a slightly tidier version of the #crystalradio circuit which works (despite being out of practice with soldering, and having to use the lead free stuff)

#radio #RadioCaroline

#RadioCaroline is now back on 4kW and broadcasting #RadioCarolineNorth from the #RossRevenge (they have an extra day of broadcasting due to the fundraiser) - the #crystalradio (now using a 220 uH inductor and 165 pF variable capacitor at around 78 pF for best tuning) receives the signal good and strong with quite decent volume to the PC line in (this video is taken using the mobile phone microphone, there is 0 amplification or soundprocessing)

#radio #OffshoreRadio #Suffolk

This is why #AM #radio is worth keeping - I tuned into #RadioCaroline using an 18m wire antenna run around the outside of the building, a 330 uH inductor and a military surplus CV7130 (OA91) germanium #diode (I had to order these from a place near Brighton selling NOS vintage components, diodes sold on Amazon as "Germanium" didn't work). The output of the detector diode is fed into the line in of a desktop PC (the metal case of which also provide the earth for the receiver)

That's twice in two days, on two different #radio stations tgat I've heard The Plastic Ono Band's 'Give Peace a Chance'

It does not stand the test of time. It wasn't that great back in the day, now it's just plain tedious.

Radio Caroline are having tech problems on the Ross Revenge today; the studio with the vinyl decks is out of action, along with several computers (seems like they have lost power to part of the ship?) - they are still going on various pieces of backup equipment... #RadioCaroline #pirateradio #offshore #radio #communityradio

Who knew that the pirate station Radio Caroline laid the groundwork for the Thatcherite revolution? Also connected - Institute for Economic Affairs.

Next step; find a way to fit in an AM medium wave transmitter in the Ross Revenge scale model. #hamradio #RossRevenge #radiocaroline

A few weeks ago, one of the #RadioCaroline presenters said "anyone over 40 who is listening might have eaten fish fingers caught from the Ross Revenge"

(he did correct himself shortly afterwards and point out it was whole cod rather than processed fish fingers that are caught from the North Sea) 😁 🐟 ⛵ 📻

Saturday Night project; the beginning of a scale model from the Ross Revenge, the ship that was and is part of my radio listening history. Radio Caroline now on 648 kHz #radiocaroline #RadioCarolineNorth #RossRevenge

@nev I expect "Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald" will be played more than once on #RadioCaroline this weekend (they are broadcasting live from the Ross Revenge radio ship); its been on their playlist since 1970s - initially as a way of roasting Ronan O'Rahilly for cost cutting and sometimes questionable seaworthiness of the radio ships BITD (the Ross is still falling apart, but at least its safer than it once was)

Only 45 mins until the Top 20 from this week in pop history on #RadioCaroline http://www.carolineflashback.co.uk/#home.html
