Re: [IRCA] Micronesian Heatwave 1557?

[Bruce Portzer <bportzer@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

According to the book, "Radio Happy Isles: Media and Politics at Play in 
the Pacific" by Robert Seward, Micronesia Heatwave went off the air in 
the late 90's.  That's the only reference I've seen confirming that the 
station is silent.  I never saw its demise mentioned in DX 
publications.  A Google search produces all sorts of stale listings that 
make it sound like the station is still active, even though it's been 
dark for a decade or more.
