David, Radio Caroline now sounds really good since a recent upgrade to its streaming service, now at 96kbps, AAC stereo.
Sister station Radio Caroline Flashback’s streaming service is not yet upgraded, but still streams at a respectable 128kbps MP3 with good stereo separation!
Both services sound good on a hifi unit and car stereo system…

Year 2020 to date has already experienced a number of AM transmitter closures throughout the UK, especially BBC locals in England and some BBC regional service transmitters in Wales and Scotland.
Subject to international agreement, would it be technically possible to open up bandwidth for selected medium wave services still on air? A less crowded AM band should equate to minimal co-channel interference, with better sound quality on AM channels with wider bandwidth!

Caroline now at 1000 watts of power on 648 khz and in Stereo on DAB and Stereo Online. Back like it used to sounds 1960s and 1970s. I first listen as a small child in1960s. Listening under the bedclothes.

I miss Radio Caroline and Radio Luxembourg. But Radio Caroline is also a Web Station so I can listen to it on line.
