I can't recommend these personally, since I haven't read them, but here's a quick-n-dirty list from World Cat:

Last of the pirates : a saga of everyday life on board Radio Caroline /
Author: Noakes, Bob.
Publication: Edinburgh : P. Harris Pub., 1984

Radio Caroline: the story of the first British off-shore radio station.
Author: Venmore-Rowland, John, 1918-
Publication: Lavenham (Suff.), Landmark P., 1967

Radio Caroline : the pirate years /
Author: Humphries, Ralph C.
Publication: Usk : Oakwood Press, 2003

Can't vouch for easy these will be to find.

Hey, is this for a Hot Fuzz fic?

Thank you!

Nope, just personal curiosity. Poor Caroline sank in...the Eighties, I think.

I remember listening when I was living there. That would have been early 80's.

I don't know if I got to hear her or not -- I wouldn't have known what it was at the time. I remember Capitol Radio.

I think the only pirate radio you can get in this part of the US is from Mexico.
