Over the weekend of 5-8 August 2016, amateur radio operators
from the Martello Tower Group will be running GB5RC, a special event station to
celebrate offshore station Radio Caroline. Now an online service, Radio
Caroline started as an offshore "pirate" station over five decades
ago. The Martello Group will be operating live from the MV Ross Revenge, using
verticals for 40m, 20m (adjustable to 17m), 15m (adjustable for 12m) and 10m
upon the stern of the ship.

available via G6NHU or GB5RC. Direct reports may be sent to:

Bemerton Gardens, Kirby Cross, Frinton-on-Sea, Essex CO13 0LQ, UK.
Return postage must be enclosed - an SASE for UK reports.
From outside the UK please enclose a self-addressed envelope plus 2 US dollars. No IRCs.
