Blame me i was the one who got freddie involved in pirate radio he worked down thew road from where i lived and i talked him into buildinbg a mw transmitter for me.
say what you like about rcsw he did fill in the gap and there where some connections with the ma amigo in that time. Dave Caine spent time out on a very unsea worthy ship for some weeks with very little food or water. he told me it was a once in a lift time experience but would not do it again.
he was sort of the security man on n empty ship. another is still very much of the caroline on air staff. if it was not for freddie half of the east angian stations of the 70 would not have made it to air i whoul hate to thing how many transmitters
as still sitting on shelves after bieing sized but the likes of mr hawkins (gpo) you would not find a greater caroline fan.
