Didn't you say in the past that after going back to the US and/or
Puerto
Rico
(after getting tossed) that you were still trying to sell your stations
in
Ecuador?

No, I said that in '69, thinking I could sell, I worked briefly with Art
Keller as a manager at EZ Communications and had a deal to buy 25% for
$100
k, but when I got back to Ecuador things were so bad that foreign
currency
transactions were frozen and I could not do any deal. About then, I put
the
talk AM on and made the mistake of speaking out against the government.

They did have airplanes back then, and I could come and go.

Now, in one rapid 24 hour period, you are telling us that you
*transferred* it
all to some employee cooperative, before you got tossed?

Did you do that at gunpoint as well?

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.

What an interesting tale.

And totally verifiable if you care to check. Just ask the AER (ecuadorian
Association of Broadcasters) and they will tell you of the cooperative which
operated for about 30 years or so.
