Re: [HCDX] Radio Caroline on 1593kHz
Radio Caroline is on 1593 kHz via a pirate relay in Ireland. I believe its
from the Cork area and has been on air for a year or two. It can be heard
most evenings in the UK with a weak signal.

Subject: [HCDX] Radio Caroline on 1593kHz
I have heard a weak but clear signal on 1593kHz for the last couple of days
and right now at 11.55 utc
I have not seen any official message about a return of Radio Caroline on AM
so far. The signal seems to origiate from the UK. Signal strength: S1 on a
perfectly clear 1593kHz. At the moment "The Year Of The Cat" by Al Steward
is playing.
Equipment used: GE-SRIII unadjusted, fresh from the box using its own
antenna.
Lowe HF-150 with Wellbrook ALA-1530P active loop.
Russian Spidola 250 on its own built in antenna.
Interesting detail: The GE-SRIII outperforms my HF-150 on AM mainly due to
the lack of sufficient dynamic range in the Lowe HF-150.
My location is 10kms south west of Rotterdam, The Netherlands.
Perhaps this transmission is a so called RSL (Restricted Service Licence) .
Does anyone know more about it?
