[HCDX] Radio Free Bougainville RIP



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:

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.
