[HCDX] Caroline on 1503 kHz

["Guido Schotmans" <gs@xxxxxx>]

A few moments ago I stumbled over a station on 1503 kHz with good S7.
Normally this channel is almost empty during daylight time here. At first, I
thought it was a pirate station because they are a little bit off frequency.
In fact it is 1503.03 kHz.  But they were quick to identify themselves as
Radio Caroline on air with a RSL license.  I haven't checked yet today if
this operation is listed on the radioauthority WebPages, but a few weeks ago
there was no such entry in their future RSL's list. Direction finding
points -as expected- to the Essex coast.

ID with position at 1400 UTC.  Unfortunately I didn't pay attention to that
announcement because I thought that I was recording it.  But my minidisk was
full.  I'll try to catch it again next top of the hour.

Guido.
