Charlie Tango DX is a group dedicated to Hobby Radio Users in all forms, whether CB, Amateur, PMR446, Scanning and Short Wave Listening.
We are a very active and friendly group that welcomes anyone from anywhere in the world who has an interest in Radio, regardless of their level of experience, their equipment, their location, or their radio preference.

The CT Site contains many reviews, tips and modifications within the forums, and we take pride that no sensible question is ever left unanswered, and nobody is ever belittled or mocked for asking an honest question, no matter how simple it may seem. We were all new to the hobby once.

makes me wonder how it ran for so long with masts this big would not have took much work to find hardly a little spot in the Ocean!
If you're wondering "how it ran for so long" before being forced to shut down Pete, as it wasn't terribly well-hidden, it was not about The Authorities knowing where it was.

Unlike latter day FM Pirate Radio Stations in, for example, London, that rely on not being found to keep operating, Caroline was outside the Twelve Mile Limit and therefore in International Waters. So the Authorities knew full well where it was.

But they had no Legal method of closing it down. Technically, any attempt to board and interfere with what was happening onboard was pure Piracy on the High Seas. It took so long because the Government(s) were trying to think-up a legal way to deal with it.

Great pictures..I did visit both boats myself, as well as well known land based stations such as Sunshine in Ludlow & Londons Radio Jackie. I also visited a couple of the Irish land based stations, but any photo's, QSL's etc I had at that time are mostly lost.
The biggest advance in radio technology EVER, was the invention of the credit card.
