Default Anybody remember a clandestine station that ran on coconuts?

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?
