.. 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!

Alan
