Re: Radio Caroline
De Nederlandse deejay Rob van Dijk zit op vrijdag avond en zondag avond laat op Radio Caroline. Op de zondagen om 23.00 u. Nederlandse tijd presenteert hij de countdown. Ik begrijp niet goed waarom de countdown s avonds om 10 uur U.K. time word uitgezonden word. Zoiets lijkt me juist extra luisteraars op de leveren als het in primetime te beluisteren valt. Ben benieuwd of Radio Caroline wat publiciteit in Nederland weet te generen als men over een tijd(je) de 648 laat werken op zonne-energie.

Re: Radio Caroline
De boven genoemde tijden van Rob kunnen kunnen veranderen. Veranderen van tijden gebeurd bij Radio Caroline vaker dan bij meeste andere zenders.

Re: Radio Caroline
Ze hebben wat aan de sound gedaan op 648 onlangs. Het klinkt luider in modulatie.
Re: Radio Caroline
Gisteren middag zelfs gehoord, voor ca een uur lang was de zender uit de lucht.
Service Message: Tuesday 8th - There will be interruptions to our 648AM service whilst we undertake connection of our new solar panels into our electrical system. We will try to keep breaks to a minimum.

Re: Radio Caroline
Ze zitten nu op de Solar Panels blijkbaar.
Re: Radio Caroline
Zo'n verduurzaming zou men bij de Radio Caroline organisatie kunnen gebruiken voor hun PR. Een middengolf zender op zonne-energie is toch wel bijzonder. Daarbij heeft Caroline een zeer opmerkelijke geschiedenis. Goed voor een mooi verhaal in bijvoorbeeld de media rubriek in een krant. Misschien doen ze dat wel of is het al gebeurd persberichten verzenden. Als Radio Caroline dat richting Nederland doet dan verwacht ik daar helaas niets van terug te zien in onze media.

Momenteel niet denk ik gezien het weer...

Re: Radio Caroline
Er komt altijd wat energie binnen bij daglicht, ook al schijnt de zon niet (voor ons).
Het gaat absoluut de energierekening drukken. Dat geld kan Caroline mooi inzetten voor andere dingen, zoals onderhoud Ross Revenge.

Re: Radio Caroline
Mijn middengolf zender heeft toch maar de hele dag op zonne energie gewerkt.

Subject: [bdxc-news] Radio Caroline -report on the Supporters Meeting
A well attended supporters meeting last night at Hamble. Good to join BDXC members Jon Ryland and Chris Morgan, with friend Peter and others. It’s always an excellent anoraky gathering, some travelling long distances to be there.
It was confirmed that an application has been made to Ofcom to increase power. Caroline also hope to discuss with Ofcom future strategy for medium wave.
Alan Beech, chief engineer, was in Scotland but very kindly updated us on technical matters and answered questions by phone. The signal on 648 has been improved with a very minor correction of the frequency, it should sound slightly louder and crisper which many present agreed was the case. Alan said he received a good signal by the coast in Scotland. Driving back to Bournemouth around 10:30 pm I enjoyed mainly excellent reception.
There are 62 solar panels at the transmitter site now fully powering the 4kW output of the Harris transmitter (which has a maximum of 25 kW). I’m not a techy and may have got this wrong but it’s currently using 12 kW daily input to output 4 kW. Even when it’s cloudy there is a good power generation, apparently the panels wash automatically with rain and it’s to be hoped that also washes off the mess from the many seagulls at Orford Ness! Alan thought there are very few radio stations in the world that are totally powered by solar energy, so Caroline is to be congratulated on achieving this. It’s planned to publicise more about it at Easter.
New books were discussed – all funds go to the Ross Revenge Preservation fund. The Ross is in urgent need of dry docking for major repairs, an expensive procedure, without that its future is uncertain.
I have just received and read hot off the press “Behind The Scenes at Radio Caroline (in the 1970s)” by Lyn Gilbert which lifts the lid on many aspects of the covert operation in those difficult days on air on (and off) from the Mi Amigo, how Ronan O’Rahilly and staff (many unpaid) kept The Lady afloat to the end, also the part played by George Harrison and other financiers, including Ronan’s film and numerous other sometimes unsuccessful ventures.
The next meeting is on Wednesday 7 June, well worth a diary note.

Re: Radio Caroline
Het is geen grapje hoop ik. Hoeveel KW is de wens bij radio Caroline?
Re: Radio Caroline
Daar is nog niets over bekend.
Re: Radio Caroline
Caroline North vandaag, zaterdag en zondag met het paasweekend.
Re: Radio Caroline
There is now a meter on the main website page showing the power generated with the solar panels. This weekend in the UK sunny weather is forecast so maybe all the power will come from the solar panel array. Amazing!
Re: Radio Caroline
Het is maar de vraag of ze nu weer meer vermogen gaan toestaan voor Caroline. De vorige keer zou Ofcom ingestemd hebben vanwege uitzonderlijke omstandigheden. Is bekend hoeveel tijd er zat tussen de aanvraag en de toestemming om met 3 KW te mogen gaan zenden. Wanneer is deze aanvraag ingediend?
