[HCDX] Radio Independent Mekamui

[Paul Ormandy <paulorm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all,

Just received a QSL letter from Sam Voron for Radio Independent Mekamui, 
3850khz 80 watts. To quote (verbatim):

"Broadcasting from the 15km no-go zone centred on the Panguna copper mine 
and defended by the peoples Mekamui Defense Force (MDF). The no-go zone is 
set up by the current traditional land-owner Francis Ona, President of the 
Mekamui National Congress. This congress is the voice of the traditional 
chiefs supporting the no-go zone in Central Bougainville."

"The short wave radio station is the people's only communications to the 
outside world. Living in the mountains and jungles around the mine site, 
the people set up the no-go zone to stop efforts to regain control of the 
mine now that the 10 year civil war has ended and peace restored"

Sam now has an e-mail address: svoron@xxxxxxxxxxx

Regards,
Paul
