"Radio Caroline had already limped back on to the airwaves from its new ship"
- How exactly does returning to the air in a blaze of publicity with a big new ship and 50 kilowatts of power constitute "limping"???!!! Lee M 18:52, 4 November 2005 (UTC)
- Owing to back stabbing? One of the broadcast staff left between laying anchor and switching on Caroline's main TX, which was rated at 60 kW. ISTR the last TX installed on MiAmigo was rated at 60 kW and installed in 1978, which says it all about Radio Caroline.
- Aart from the fact that the exact meaning of these unsigned entries is blurry, the Ross Revenge was equipped with a 50 kW RCA tx (not 60), wit a 5 kW backup IIRC. The Mi Amigo had a 50 kW Continental Electronics tx and two 10 kW backups, but they dated from the early to mid 60s and by the 70s were not operable at full power. And all of this says WHAT about Caroline exactly? The article's text as at current date is equally confusing. Lee M 02:49, 16 June 2007 (UTC)
- Further to my previous entry, I believe the article is too pov and I've therefore added a cleanup box. Lee M 19:22, 4 November 2005 (UTC)
- Maybe these are created in the hope of provoking better information?? RNI's still does not mention the bombing.
And the presenter mentioned was not the only UK citizen on board after the MOA in 1967. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.208.114.13 (talk) 14:00, 4 July 2008 (UTC)
Euroseige: While it is true that Laser was the primary target of the government action, the statement about the seige ending when the Laser ship came in is incorrect. The Guardline Tracker DID return to sea and continued to observe Radio Caroline until December 12th 1985. No formal announcment was made by the DTI about the end of the campaign.
