The Peoples Temple operated two radio stations in Guyana:                 one in Georgetown, WB6MNH/8R1; and one in Jonestown, WB6MID/8R3.                 It is important to note that although the calls were assigned                 to very real individuals, more than likely these same individuals                 were not the ones who sent out these cards. It is equally unlikely                 that these individuals made all of these contacts in the first                 place. Although we cannot be certain that this is true 100% of                 the time, evidence from tapes of these radio communications indicates                 that many of the radio contacts were made by individuals other                 than the QSL card's namesake.
