.. that Planet Productions (broadcasting as Radio Caroline) and Project Atlanta (broadcasting as Radio Atlanta) merged their operations. It was a Thursday that year and the following day, Friday 3rd July, the MV Fredericia started off on her journey to her eventual mooring in Ramsey Bay, Isle of Man, starting a glorious period of offshore radio for those of us ooop north!

By this time 44 years ago, the ship had passed the Isle of Wight with Tom Lodge broadcasting theTop 40 chart in the afternoon – it was anorak quality audibility up here in Manchester but exciting nonetheless.

I'm wondering how many folks will be at the Isle of Man's commemoration weekend of Radio Caroline in September this year? I need to get my finger out and book travel and accommodation.

Happy days!
