0049 UTC S9 carrier with music at very low modulation..."Got To Get You Into My Life"-Beatles cover? Strong peskie QRM
0054 UTC "Return to Sender"-Elvis Presley cover?
0056 UTC OM DJ (sounds like a commercial relay), followed by a 60's sounding pop song "We Are the Power Station"?
0059 UTC OM DJ, followed by "You Can't Hurry Love"-Supremes
0101 UTC Modulation jumped up to awesome level!
0102 UTC OM DJ, followed by "Here, There, and Everywhere"-Beatles or cover?
0104 UTC OM mentioned the last song moved up from 44 to 42, followed by an Unid 60's pop song
0106 UTC OM DJ followed by "Eleanor Rigby"-Beatles
0109 UTC OM DJ, followed by "Just Like A Woman" cover version
0111 UTC OM DJ, followed by "I'm Your Puppet"-?
0120 UTC OM DJ mentioned "Caroline", followed by "Sookie Sookie"-cover version
(Is this Emperor Rosko from the Radio Caroline days or with Radio Luxembourg, or maybe BBC Radio 1?)
After some research, it seems that in 1966 Emperor Rosko was a DJ on Radio Caroline, along with his parrot Alfie! As you can hear the bird whistling at times, then that would confirm this is a an aircheck of Radio Caroline in 1966.
0136 UTC "Radio Caroline" jingle! 8)
(Emperor Rosko did not join BBC Radio 1 until some time in 1967)
0144 UTC Heard a "Caroline South" ID!
0153 UTC OFF
THANKS TRI! I actually heard Radio Caroline in the 1980's during their reincarnation, so to speak, but never heard a show from the 60's before the Marine Offences act. Cool!
Here's a link to my recording...the modulation kicks in nicely around the 10-11 minute mark:
