Happy Birthday Radio Caroline

Fifty years ago  tomorrow marks the day Radio Caroline took the airwaves with regular programmes, and changed British radio forever. There's been quite a lot written and on the radio about the anniversary but very little on the TV. I thought we might have even got a documentary. But it seems not to be.

But ITV's Meridian service in the south of England has done an eight minute report on the anniversary. Here's the link:

Suburban pirate radio station raided

A pirate radio station based from a suburban terrace in Stonecot [Sutton, Surrey] was shut down in a raid this morning (Tuesday). Police and officers from communications regulator Ofcom swooped on the house in Morley Road today.

They found a PC hooked up to a tool called a link transmitter that allowed users to convert an internet signal into a radio signal. The person who set up the system was using the kit to broadcast FM radio via a link to an aerial on the top of Chaucer House in Central Sutton.

It is believed the person who set up the system was charging DJs to let them broadcast via it. Officers shut down the system and seized the equipment from both the house and the top of Chaucer House. No-one was arrested.

Tune in for tale of pirates - Radio Hauraki

The New Zealand Herald
By Barney McDonald
March 2, 2014
 
With radio stations in New Zealand falling over one another to out-shock, out-trash and out-rate each other, it's nice to remember that once upon a time it wasn't like that. No, I'm not talking about a century ago, before the advent of broadcast radio. I'm referring to the glory days of Radio Hauraki, when a bunch of hard case larrikins took the bull by the horns and launched a pirate radio station to play rock'n'roll instead of state radio's easy-listening pulp.

A new feature film, 3 Mile Limit, by first-time director Craig Newland, celebrates the unlikely heroes of Hauraki, depicting the genesis of a crazy idea and the antics that ensured it didn't just remain on the mixing board or get washed out to sea. On a broader scale, it's a joyful "kicking against the pricks" , "she' ll be right, mate", "number eight wire", "all for one, one for all" tale of triumph over mediocrity. But at its heart, "3 Mile Limit" is about the lengths Richard Davis (Matt Whelan) will go to establish his illegal station and the limits of his wife Judy's (Belinda Crawley) patience as he drives them out of house and home to fund his dream.

Horizon FM Tenerife on shortwave

The DX world is talking about the appearance of a new station on shortwave - Horizon FM, in Tenerife, Canary Islands.

It has been logged on 5780 kHz and reported is using 75W but planning to increase this to 1 kW.

On the BDXC Yahoo group Mike Barraclough reports: "Hans Johnson has been in telephone contact with Horizon FM and they insist that the transmission is from north part of Tenerife. They carry Horizon FM from Friday evening until 1000 Sunday and then Atlantis FM till 2200. (Mauno Ritola, Feb 16, Cumbre DX Facebook group)."

The station also announces on its English-language website, Twitter and Facebook pages that it is using 102.5/104.5 FM and 5780 kHz.

You can see photos from the station on the Maresme DX blog.

But some people are asking whether it really is coming from the Canaries or from a pirate station in the UK or Ireland rebroadcasting the internet feed. There's more discussion on Garry Steven's free radio board.

Anyway, it all adds to the mystery!

Some notes on political pirate radio stations in Dublin

The Come Here To Me blog writes: "Ireland has a long history of pirate radio, something I’ve looked at before in an article for Rabble that can be read here. This brief article looks at a number of political pirate radio stations that operated in Dublin, many of which were operated by the republican movement as a means of spreading propaganda."

FCC upholds $10,000 fine for Pirate Cat founder as station re-emerges in Berlin

Today [Feb 10] the FCC released an order upholding a $10,000 fine against Dan Roberts, former manager of Pirate Cat Radio, for unlicensed broadcasting. The fine was originally issued in 2011.

Pirate Cat Radio began as an audacious and prominent unlicensed station operating out of a San Francisco cafe, headed up by charismatic leader Dan Roberts who went by the monikers “Monkey” or “Monkey Man.” As the heat from the FCC turned up, Pirate Cat ended actual FM transmission from its cafe studio, becoming an online-only station. However, a third party picked up the Pirate Cat stream and rebroadcast it on the station’s old FM frequency. It was this disassociation between Pirate Cat and the unlicensed FM broadcast that formed the basis for Roberts’ petition for reconsideration of the fine to the FCC.

In upholding the fine, the Commission rejected Roberts’ argument, along with his argument that there was no proof linking him to these broadcasts. The FCC’s reasoning for rejecting them, however, brings forward a novel argument that could threaten a common pirate broadcast strategy.

How a group of Welsh nationalists became pirate radio pioneers

Wales Online
By Martin Shipton   
20 January 2014

TV show discovers that campaigners broadcast illegal political broadcasts under the banner Radio Ceiliog (Radio Cockerel)  

A group of Welsh nationalists were among the pioneers of illegal pirate radio, a TV programme revealed.

It’s well known that Radio Caroline and Radio Luxembourg challenged the BBC’s broadcasting monopoly in the 1960s.

Radio Caroline, many of whose DJs went on to set up Radio 1, broadcast from a ship off the Essex coast.

Now the S4C talk show Cadw Cwmni gyda John Hardy is set to reveal how some Welsh nationalist campaigners broadcast illegal political broadcasts under the banner Radio Ceiliog (Radio Cockerel).

In the programme, broadcaster John Hardy interviews Philip Lloyd, one of the activists who campaigned for a party political broadcast allocation for Plaid Cymru [the Welsh nationalist party].

In the 1950s Plaid Cymru started a campaign for an allocation of political broadcasts. Conducting pirate broadcasts was not official party policy, but some party activists turned to breaking the law in a bid to secure Plaid Cymru broadcast time.

(Mike Terry, BDXC-UK Yahoo group)

The programme was on last night but is available on the S4C web site:
http://www.s4c.co.uk/clic/e_level2.shtml?programme_id=514878351

The item about Radio Ceilog starts 11 minutes into the programme. Its all in Welsh with a few old photos at the start.

 It is possible to get English subtitles. Comments on the BDXC group also seem to indicate it isn't possible to watch the programme outside the UK, while the subtitle button seems to depend on what browser you're using.
