Forty-five years ago, on November 18, 1978, 918 Americans died in a remote jungle in Guyana, South America. One was a U.S. Congressman, three were journalists and 914 were residents of the Peoples Temple agricultural mission known as Jonestown<https://time.com/3583781/jonestown-massacre/>. About 80 members of Peoples Temple who were living in Guyana survived that day. Hundreds of members living in San Francisco and Los Angeles did too.

In the chaos of the aftermath, this event would be characterized as a “mass suicide.” We still hear echoes of this whenever we hear the phrase, “they drank the Kool-Aid.” But the idea that they all “drank the Kool-Aid” is a myth. Not everyone died willingly that day. Some were injected with cyanide involuntarily, including hundreds of children and senior citizens.




Thanks for the post Dennis,
This will be a new Digital Country if 8R1AK decodes for me.
I'me reminded of this tragic massacre by Jim Jones.  I actually worked them from my K5 Blazer with a IC-730 and Webster Bandspanner.
