The first colonel of the Central African army was Jean Bedel Bokassa the future emperor of the Central African Empire. Initially I thought you mean a pirate radio but you said official....so just half an answser from me :)

I’ll trust Allexis on the first answer. Jean Bedel Bokassa.

The second answer is a guess, the radio station was the “Voice of Peace” broadcasting from the Dutch cargo vessel MV Peace (formally MV Cito). So, if you want the initials, would that be VOP?

- Jean-Bédel Bokassa- SPLAJBC

Congratulations, Newtony! Your answer is short and to the point and correct. I thought the SPLAJBC would take longer. (Socialist People's Libyan Arab Jamahiriya Broadcasting Corporation on air in English and other languages from 1978 in Tripoli harbor from ship renamed El Fatah from Mebo II).

I'll send you a PM so you can send me the address where you want the stamps shipped! Thanks to all participants. Please keep entering future giveaways.

I am a big fan of your stamp giveaway contest.
Many times I wanted to participate, but mostly I didn't have the correct answers or I was too late...
Your questions aren't easy and require some serious research! So, I'm happy that I was the first person with a correct answer. A short and to the point answer because I wasn't at all sure it was correct!
I'm also a little bit jealous that you are able to create such an interesting and entertaining contest with great prizes...
It's people like you that keep groups like this one interesting and make others wanting to join to be part of this community. Respect!
