[QUOTE="PaulR, post: 1117054, member: 176256"] There's some information on Radio Caroline's own web site: "Our (second hand) Nautel transmitter is housed at the former BBC World Service site at Orford Ness," "It is testament to the quality of the 25 year old Nautel transmitter" (posted in 2019 so 27 years old now) [URL unfurl="true"]https://radiocaroline.co.uk/#648_am.html[/URL] And from a different page: "World Service for Europe on 648Khz was broadcast from Orfordness on a 24/7 basis from September 1982 until March 2011 using a 500kilowatt transmitter. The antenna system was an array of 5 towers, and this focussed the signal into a south-easterly beam away from the UK." "It was very fortunate that not only did Ofcom give Caroline the good 648 frequency, but that the aerial masts at Orfordness were still standing and that the island had been sold in to private ownership to two men who wanted to see the area used again for its intended purpose" [URL unfurl="true"]https://radiocaroline.co.uk/#history_of_648.html[/URL] [/QUOTE]
