Several IDs as “Radio Caroline,” and one at 2333 as “TheLegend Lives One-Radio Caroline.” The programming changed over to a BluesShow with Mr. Charles at 2400. Both segments were great. All of the TC were insynch with GMT, so this was either a live feed to a relay station, or somebodytook a great deal of care to match up a recording to the times, or RadioCaroline is now broadcasting on 6925 from the UK. The signal was a great dealstronger and better than any other Europirates I have heard, so I think it wasa relay of some kind, but one never knows….. Fair to Good. (Joe Wood, TN).
