It never announced shortwave broadcasts, possibly there were some tests but I
never heard any.

I thought the original Radio Caroline broadcast on 1495 kc, and later there was
a Radio Caroline North on 1520 kc. I could hear them here in NJ during the
Monday morning silent periods when 1500 would quiet down and WKBW Buffalo was
off the air. Did Caroline have a 49m outlet?

Sadly shortwave is of almost zero interest to the general public for music

If Radio Caroline get a mediumwave license from OFCOM, I hope they
also apply for a shortwave license shortly afterwards.

Radio Caroline aims to rock radio waves again

The famous ship-based pirate radio station Radio Caroline has applied
for an AM waveband licence from Ofcom.
Peter Moore, who runs Radio Caroline, wants to broadcast from its
ship the MV Ross Revenge on the River Blackwater in Essex.
He hopes to hear the outcome of the application next year, the 50th
anniversary of the 1967 Marine Broadcasting Offences Act that was
intended to scupper the pirate broadcasters.
The station, immortalised in Richard Curtis film The Boat That
Rocked, was founded in 1964 to play pop music all day in a time where
broadcasting was dominated by the BBC and pop was played for an hour a week..
After the law was passed in 1967, Radio Caroline continued to
broadcast until the Ross Revenge was shipwrecked off the Kent coast in 1991..
Mr Moore said the vessel is "mostly fixed" and open to visitors.
Radio Caroline currently operates as an internet and digital radio
station, with many shows broadcast from the Ross Revenge, which has a
gadget fitted to its wheelhouse to give it a 4G signal, and also from
its presenters' home studios.
"We think it would be very fitting that, 50 years after the law
intended to silence us once and for all, we show that it didn't
work," said Mr Moore.
The proposed AM signal would serve Essex and Suffolk, an area served
by the station in its early years, with the transmitter based on land
and connected to the studio on the ship and presenters' homes.
"The Suffolk application is in hope of returning to what was always
our heartland," added Mr Moore. "We would broadcast on AM just like
long ago to entertain the people who grew up with Caroline and maybe
cannot listen just now.
"The presenters would be in part the same ones they listened to from
our ship at sea."
An Ofcom spokesman confirmed an application from Radio Caroline was
being reviewed.
