   Hello Walter and Group: Walter, you are my old and dear friend...After
   seeing  first  hand  THE  TRUTH  behind  one  of  Sam  Voron's  "radio
   projects",  Radio  Galkayo, perhaps we are better off without them and
   the world a little more stable. Let the TRUTH be known! 73.

     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.
