ARLA/CLUSTER: GB5RC - Ao vivo desde o navio Ross Revenge, lar de Radio Caroline até 7 de Agosto de 2017

GB5RC - Live from the Ross Revenge, home of Radio Caroline

Starting on Thursday, 3rd August 2017, the Martello Tower Group will again
be operating as *GB5RC*, where the RC stands for *Radio Caroline*, from the
MV Ross Revenge, moored in the Blackwater Estuary, near Bradwell-on-Sea,
Essex.

This Special Event is to celebrate fifty years of offshore broadcasting and
what better place to operate from than the home of the world famous Radio
Caroline.

The group are setting up on the 3rd August with operation expected to start
in the evening.  They will be on the air until the early hours of Monday
7th August.

Activity will be centred around 80m, 40m and 20m which were the busiest
bands by far in 2016 with the option to retune verticals for 17m, 15m, 12m
and 10m if required.  The group will also attempt to operate on VHF/UHF
although noise from the on board solar panels made this difficult before.

With the recent announcement from Ofcom that Radio Caroline has been issued
a licence to broadcast on 648kHz, interest in the station is the highest
it's been for many years.  Amateur radio has played a big part in offshore
broadcasting over the years so this seems a perfect time to celebrate five
decades of offshore radio.
