Re: [IRCA] A visit to Radio Cook Islands (Walter Salmaniw)

 Hi Walt,

Thanks for your really interesting account of tracking down the current
location of RCI.

Evidently their situation has changed dramatically, and not for the better.
In 1993 I found their studios to be a pleasant, low-slung building with a
colorful "Radio Cook Islands" banner and artwork painted on the side. It
was definitely not an unmarked building as you described. A photo from 1993
is included in the link I posted yesterday:
