The station used a ship that had once been the home of Radio Nord.
On 4 February 1961 the radio ship left the Finnboda shipyard in Stockholm and sailed for Ornö for further on air tests, but these were met by a storm two days later and the ship had to return to port.

Radio Nord was a Swedish offshore commercial station that operated briefly from 8 March 1961 to 30 June 1962 from a ship anchored in international waters of the Baltic Sea off Stockholm, Sweden.
•
The transmitters had been flown in from the factory at Dallas, Texas in six thousand parts.
In a particularly singular example of the station's wide impact, in 1962, DJ Ron Baxley, after recommendations from McLendon, became program manager for the offshore pirate radio station Radio Nord, beaming broadcasts to Stockholm, Sweden.
