their favourite music on the radio.
Radio Mercury gained huge sums on
the radio advertising, and that's why
many other radio ships soon sailed the
seas. The radio ships were anchored
on the international waters outside
the territory limits, so they were not
breaking any laws. The goverments and
authorities couldn't stop the trans-
missions.
In the early 1960's came Danmarks
Commercielle Radio on the air in
Denmark, and Radio Syd in the Swedish
Skone coast and also Radio Nord in
Sweden Stockholm. Later in the 60's
came pirate radio also to North Sea
broadcasting to England and Holland.
The best-known stations were Radio
Caroline, Veronica, Radio London,
Radio Tower, Radio Scotland, Radio
Northsea International, Mi Amigo and
there were many others.In the mid 60's
there were around 20 radio ships and
stations on the North Sea, and the
best stations had over 5 million
listeners.

Most offshore pirates were forced to
close down before the end of the 60's.
Authorities in most countries made it
illegal to supply the radio ships with
food, gas, etc. The stations had to
buy supplies from faraway countries
like Spain and Portugal. That was so
expensive, that most stations closed
down. Only the legendary Radio
Caroline continued.
Along the 70's and 80's some stations
had tried to broadcast from ships on
North Sea, Mediterranean, New Zealand
and USA coast.Today there're only four
pirate stations on the seas. They are
Radio Caroline, Radio New York
International, Voice of Peace and
Channel 7. If you want to listen them
by yourself, here are the frequencies:
Radio Caroline 558 819 & 6215 KHz
Radio New York Int. 1620 & 6420 KHz &
103.1 MHz FM
Voice of Peace 100 MHz FM & 1539 KHz
Channel 7 918 KHz
