chapter 22 the mans name was duke wills ; he was in charge of the local radio tower down on newport.he supplied the island with daily jams , news , weather and basically anything else he could receive from their sister station in brazil which had not cut their frequency , however a world wide band was put on every country not allowing them to interact with anyone in the u.s and most signals where jammed so he could get what was coming in , but could not deliver a single message outside of the u.s. duke was as excited to hear from me as i was to hear from him , he had explained that this way a total of forty people had been given the good news of newport and now they all safely resided on the island .
