British Pirate Radio Resumes Operations From North Sea Ship
Britain’s first and oldest pirate radio station, Radio Caroline, has started broadcasting again from a ship in the North Sea after being silenced by Dutch and British authorities, French radio amateurs said Friday.
The France Radio Club said in a statement that the pirate radio station was broadcasting from its ship, the Ross Revenge, which was boarded by police in August after complaints that the radio’s programs were jamming an emergency radio frequency.
Radio Caroline, founded by Irishman Ronan O’Rahilly in 1964, celebrated 25 years of illegal broadcasts in March.
