I've posted a short recording of Radio Free Bougainville, from the time I
heard them at a Grayland, WA DXpedition. The date was June 16, 1993, and the
time was 1120 UTC. Listen for the two IDs in Pidgin:

I seem to remember hearing about a rebellious island somewhere in the
South Pacific (although I'm not sure where, or who they were
rebelling
against) that had an "official voice" that ran on coconuts. Every
year
they'd harvest the coconuts, eat some, then burn the rest to keep the
tx
going for a while. Then the coconuts would run out, and they'd have
to
shut down until next year. This was necessary because the govt they
were
rebelling against had a total blockade in effect. I think the station
was called Radio Bougainville or something. Anybody know what I'm
talking about?

Radio Free Bougainville, it ran on cocoanut oil

Yeah, them. Know anything else about it?

They later became Radio Independent Mekamui.
