* [[http://www.radiocaroline.co.uk/ Radio Caroline,]] described in the opening section, debuted in 1964, partly attempting to replicate the success of Radio Veronica (as mentioned below), and partly to challenge Radio Luxembourg's monopoly on non-BBC pop radio aimed at a British audience. [=DJs=] included Radio/TonyBlackburn, Johnnie Walker, Simon Dee and Dave Lee Travers, who would all end up at [[Creator/TheBBC Radio One]] (Blackburn, in fact, was the first DJ to broadcast on Radio One when that station was launched in 1967 as a direct response to the popularity of the offshore pirate stations). Caroline's original run ended in 1968, with less-publicized comebacks from 1972–80 and 1983–90. In the '90s, it began broadcasting legally from a land-based studio via satellite and later the internet. As of 2016, it's hoping to get a DAB digital radio license. They're also doing some rather limited over-the-air broadcasting, having managed to acquire an AM license for absolute peanuts because it's considered largely obsolete in the UK and nobody else was interested.

* A detail that gets lost sixty years on is that the pirate radio stations were also pirates to ''each other'', quite often in the literal sense of the word. There was precious little co-operation and fellow feeling between the various stations, which tended to be owned by people already operating on the edges of legality, who weren't fussy about the fine details of methods used to hobble the competition. Right at the start, dirty tricks were used to seize the identified prime sites to anchor their ships, so as to control the most influential and lucrative market - [[UsefulNotes/HomeCounties London and the South-East]]. [[note]]The vagaries of radio broadcasting in TheSixties meant that, with the technology available and limitations on the height of a ship-mounted mast, some locations offshore would generate the cleanest and strongest possible signal that travelled further. While another ship could drop anchor half a mile away and discover their signal wouldn't even get to, for instance, Whitstable - let alone London and ideally a long way further. There was actual fighting among operators for the known transmission hotspots.[[/note]] Much cunning and guile was spent in persuading more naïve newcomers that [[OopNorth the north of England]] and Scotland would be good places to broadcast to - just to thin out possible competition for [[BritainIsOnlyLondon London]], the most desired real estate.
