A British reader writes, "Because we had no commercial radio in Britain until the 1970s, there was what was known as "Pirate Radio" which operated between 1964 and 1968. These radio stations were operated from ships or forts in International Waters around the British coast outside the three-mile territorial limit, as it was illegal to broadcast from the mainland. But eventually legislation was introduced to make it a crime to supply such stations from the mainland and as a consequence these popular radio stations were forced off the air. One such radio station was Radio Caroline, which derived its name from Caroline Kennedy. One day in 1963 the radio station owner was flying to Dallas to buy the transmitters and on the flight he was reading a magazine, which showed a picture of Caroline Kennedy in the Oval Office of the White House. He said she was smiling and looked so happy and that was the image he wanted his radio station to convey to its listeners, so he named it Radio Caroline."
