Consider the latest chapter in the saga of the pirate radio ships operating in the North Sea. Anchored just outside territorial waters off The Netherlands, these vessels beam a mixture of pop music, disc-jockey egos and insistent commercials into homes otherwise served only by relatively sedate Dutch broadcasting. Until recently, this profitable operation was shared by Radio Veronica and Radio Northsea, which had agreed to a truce after three frogmen hired by one of Veronica's owners had planted a bomb aboard Northsea. Now, though, something new has come between Veronica and Northsea.





The something new is Radio Caroline, a golden oldie that used to aim her programs into Britain from two separate ships until Parliament passed a special law silencing pirate broadcasts. Radio Caroline, which was named by her Irish owner Ronan O'Rahilly after John F. Kennedy's daughter, has now been reduced to one ship, a rusty old coastal vessel called Mi Amigo. Just before Christmas, she anchored in the 300-yd. gap between Veronica and Northsea, five miles off the coast of The Netherlands, and started competing with them for Dutch listeners
