Here are a few offshore radio recordings from the Flare Radio archive. They are from original recordings made by the webmaster, and if you hear any of them them elsewhere, then they have certainly been downloaded from this site. Some files have had to be temporarily removed and it hoped to restore these soon.

The Caroline Revival Hour generated a lot of excitement in 1969. The problem was, reception was very poor in the UK and the broadcast was very late at night on 2nd March 1969. I lost count of the number of times Daffy Don Allen said "loud and clear".: laserbeam@flareradio.com
