Radio Caroline vanaf de Ross Revenge

[dickv...@radiocaroline.co.uk]

The "legendary" Radio Caroline is marking its 44th birthday this
Easter weekend with four days of special programming live from the
radio ship Ross Revenge.

The weekend will be special for several reasons.

Firstly, the station has survived the intervention of governments,
groundings, a sinking, and an officially sanctioned armed raid to
reach this milestone. It is a remarkable achievement and a real
triumph over adversity.

Secondly, the M.V. Ross Revenge was in a very sorry state after being
salvaged off the Goodwin Sands. The hard work and dedication of the
volunteer restoration crew has brought her back to excellent
condition, something of which they are justly proud. It is our
intention that the ship will be on public view again soon.

Finally, the broadcast itself is going to be undertaken by veteran
presenters from Caroline's second ship, the M.V. Mi Amigo, which sank
in March 1980. All of the on-air team for the Easter weekend served on
board between 1977 and 1980 and this is the first time they will have
come together as a working team for 30 years.

Current Caroline presenters Roger Mathews, Bob Lawrence, Cliff
Osbourne, and Martin Fisher will be joined by Brian Martin and Mike
Stevens. Several colleagues from Holland including current Caroline
presenters Ad Roberts, Marc Jacobs and Dick Verheul will also be part
of the team. Other former crew members from the Mi Amigo Kees Borrell
and Jeremy Chartham will also be on board.

This special birthday broadcast will start at 6am on Good Friday and
run until midnight on Easter Monday. Listeners will also be able to
watch some of the action via on board webcams.

Hallo Dick Verheul. Wordt dit ook uitgezonden op de 1278 kHz AM vanaf
de Ross Revenge zoals in 2004 tijdens het 40-jarig bestaan van Radio
Caroline? Hartelijke groeten van Nico uit Gouda.

Hopelijk wordt dan wel de vintage Caroline studio gebruikt en niet de
voormalige Monique studio die nu "aangepast" is aan deze tijd. Dus dat
wordt weer platen scherp zetten en carts schuiven. Niks klikken met
een muis.
We zullen meekijken via de webcam dat dit ook daadwerkelijk gebeurd.
