Additional pirate logs:
6925USB Conelrad Radio (presumed). 2330-2334. 25 March 08. English. Mx from the 1940-1960 era including: Boogie, Fujiama Mama, and Counter Spy by Bob Newhart. Off at 2334 in mid song. S5/Poor. (Wood, TN).
6925USB Radio Caroline. 2316-0015+. 28-29 Mar 08. English. Presumed relay of this station. It is also my first log of the station. Rock music from Aerosmith, Jefferson Starship, David Bowie, and many others that were less well known. Several IDs as "Radio Caroline," and one at 2333 as "The Legend Lives One-Radio Caroline." The programming changed over to a Blues Show with Mr. Charles at 2400. Both segments were great. All of the time-check
were in synch with GMT, so this was either a live feed to a relay station, or somebody took a great deal of care to match up a recording to the times, or Radio Caroline is now broadcasting on 6925 from the UK. The signal was a great deal stronger and better than any other Europirates I have heard, so I think it was a relay of some kind, but one never knowsŠ.. Fair to Good. (Wood, TN).
