We used to drive up to Clacton sea front, send car headlamp flashing messages to Caroline 199 to show the crew support & request certain artistes.
Steered clear of Clacton, during the Mods & Rockers Easter period, all those cycle chains & the like

Yea I remember Caroline!
I remember Radio North Sea International too!
Listening under the blankets on a tiny radio....

I was one of only a handful of people that watched the movie "The Boat That Rocked", does that count?

Well, I watched it as well, maybe you wouldn't watched it unless you remember Radio Caroline, so I think it does count
A very entertaining film with Bill Nighy, "Hollywooded" of course

We have a local "community" radio station here. 104.9 Sunshine FM.
One of the announcers, now only on a few hours once a week but used to do the breakfast stint, was on Radio Caroline.
He told some greatstories.

And I saw "The Boat that Rocked" too.

I used to listen to radio Luxembourg. In between music there were adverts. One was a guy called Horace Batchelor  from Keynsham in Essex, who sold an infallible system to win the pools.

I used to listen to radio Luxembourg.

So did i but the signal would fad in and out.

Signal was out more than in!

I used to listen to radio Luxembourg. In between music there were adverts. One was a guy called Horace Batchelor  from Keynsham in Essex, who sold an infallible system to win the pools.

The system was called "The Infra-Draw Method", introduced each night on DJ Barry Aldis's programme at 8.30pm, and Horace would announce it (spelt out) K E Y N S H A M - Bristol. ( Not Essex  ).
Also on 208, Radio Luxembourg, "The World Tomorrow" with Garner Ted Armstrong.

There's an amazing radio program here in Adelaide that is truly world class, run by a brilliant and engaging personality.

This yours truly is listed as 'Presidente' and appears as one of the broadcasters. He has an endearing humility if I do say so myself.

I used to enjoy touring the UK and being amazed at the ability to pick up broadcasts from other countries, quite impossible in Australia.

Hola Fernando ? 

[Phil №❶]

Off Topic - prematurely Sorry
I'm SO surprised 
My Wife & I regularly visit Costa Blanca (we were in The Benidorm Palace two weeks ago) and most mornings we listen to Howard Brereton & Steven Ritson for Spanish & World News on T.R.E.
Talk Radio Europe
Today was the report of a Spaniard's Wife obtaining a divorce, citing that each night he would walk in, slap his "tool" on the table and announce "These are in Charge". 

Not for long, I suspect.

Actually Gonz, it's pretty easy. We have this thing now called the internet.

Sorry.

We used to pick up NZBC when I lived in Tweed Heads. I was working on the car one night and selected a radio station at random. Couldn't work out why the time calls were two hours later than I thought it was.

You can pick up a few overseas stations if you're anywhere near the Great Ocean Road, too.

I listened to Caroline and also Luxembourg when a teen.

I planned to write off to K E Y N S H A M to get the system but my dad explained that it was a con.

Some more info about the Keynsham man

Only 78 ?
In the 1960's, he always sounded so old that I thought "hasn't made enough money by now ?".
