Hi Gert
I have a couple of issues regarding this import and I hope you don't
mind if I'm going to try to clean it up. I wouldn't consider the import
done yet.
I'm going to describe my issues here:
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/WikiProject_Haiti/Tasks_and_Ideas/RadioTvStations
Let's follow up there.
Regards
Karl
