ARLA/CLUSTER: Radio Carolina comemora o seu 53ª Aniversário

[João Costa > CT1FBF]

Happy 53rd birthday Radio Caroline!

Fifty three years ago, the radio world was going to be changed forever for
the listeners in the United Kingdom.

In the February of 1964, Irish musician manager and businessman Ronan
O’Rahilly obtained the 702-ton former Danish passenger ferry, Fredericia,
which was converted into a radio ship at the Southern Irish port of
Greenore.

The Fredericia was renamed *MV Caroline* [after the daughter of the late
President Kennedy].

On 26th March the MV Caroline set sail under the command of Captain Baeker.
Her destination was given as Spain. A Royal Navy destroyer inspected the MV
Caroline as she passed Plymouth.

On Good Friday – Friday, 27 March 1964, at 18:00 hours the MV Caroline
dropped anchor off the coast of Felixstowe, Suffolk, and started test
transmissions. The following day – Saturday, 28 March, broadcasting regular
programming started at 12 noon on 197 meters on the medium wave band
(announced as 199 meters)
