No, I signed some documents with my lawyers, and they filed them within
hours. A socialist government could not go against a worker's cooperative,
a
day old or a century old. I lost the stations, but not to the government.
I
still grin when I imagine the faces of the military junta guys when they
realized they had a Catch 22 on their hands.

The government went against the cooperative. So much for that story.

Nope, not so. Cooperative operated 590 and 810 for about 30 years.
Foolishly, they abandoned the FM simulcast licenses and when AM started to
die in the larger cities of Ecuador, the stations went silent.
