I don't know whether anyone reported this or not, but I noticed the following obituary in the July 31st Victoria Times-Colonist:
" Francis Ona. Bougainville separatist proclaimed himself king".... It's too long to quote here, but I found another site with a link: http://www.minesandcommunities.org/Action/press687.htm We should remember this is the fellow who was behind Radio Free Bougainville....from whom I received a QSL (actually it was from Sam Voron) ten or more years ago now. I still recall the story they told, of a coconut oil powered generator and an output of 40 watts on 3850. Those were the days!..........Walt. -- No virus found in this outgoing message.
