Default Anybody remember a clandestine station that ran on coconuts?

A Google *Groups* search on keywords "Radio Free Bougainville Power" brings
up a message thread from 1995 with more information on the coconut oil
subject. People were executed for gathering coconuts for this purpose!


Who were they rebelling against, what government? You guys haven't
filled me in on the details. What happened to the revolutionaries,
ultimately?


A Google on 'Bougainville Revolution' will probably get you what you want.
