Do they still do commercials? Some of the funniest I've ever heard were
Guyanese and I'm sorry I don't have any on tape.

By chance, when that Jim Jones was around (before he acquired the taste
for kool-aid), did he transmit on any bands, the Guyana thing reminded me
of that.

What year did that go down? Anyone know?

I was travelling from Georgetown Guyana to Port of Spain Trinidad when the
news of the suicides came up. November 17/18 1978 was the date. Back in
Georgetown, after Jonestown, availability of fruits of vegetables
plummetted. Jonestown had been a big supplier to the markets. In Geo'twn
very little was actually heard about Jonestown until after the deaths.

Never heard of any broadcasts from Jonestown.

Thanks for the reply. I was twelve when it happened then. That was my first
real official scare on the world scene that kind of struck home.

I bet 'it was the talk' on the shortwave bands for the next couple of weeks
after it happened and everything unfolded. :-(
