[HCDX] ex-Radio Impacto news

[Don Moore <mooredxer@xxxxxxxxx>]

Just received the following message. The Higueron tree which died is
the one which was part of Radio Impacto's mailing address. More
interesting is that the Costa Rican radio journalist who was
assassinated a few days ago is the person who bought Radio Impacto's
MW station when they closed down.

----------------------------

I lived in Costa Rica for many years, and thanks to your website, 
I now know that I worked about three blocks from Radio Impacto for 
about four of those years. (By the way, the Higuerón se murió -- it
has 
been replaced by a baby fig tree that doesn't seem to thrive on car 
exhaust fumes yet. However, for the past eight years directions have 
changed to: "From the ex-higuerón"). I stumbled onto your website
when 
looking for information about Parmenio Medina (the man who bought the

remains of Radio Impacto). He was assasinated a few days ago in Costa

Rica, after receiving death threats for his controversial radio 
program. This is the first assasination of a political nature in
Costa 
Rica since 1948. His radio program, "La Patada" constantly poked fun
at 
political figures and publically revealed political corruption. It
ran 
for over 30 years. It is very ironic that he became the owner of the 
equipment that once broadcast Radio Impacto.
