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.

You probably sank to your knees and serviced some of the junta members
in the hope that they'd allow you to climb on board the rapidly
approaching gravy train. As soon as you were done, they had no further
use for you. And the gravy train? Darn it, wouldn't you know it was
overbooked...

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.

It was merely called the "cooperative". It was the government.

It was cooperative president Ulpiano Orozco. Write the Ecuadorian
Association of Broadcasters and ask.

I doubt it. Considering they don't have an office, just a mailing address,
there is no way you could have an answer so soon.

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.
