Hi,
I've run a second import and cleaned up the issues we had with the first
one, see
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/WikiProject_Haiti/Tasks_and_Ideas/RadioTvStations
or the OSM changeset http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/changeset/3827369
@Sandra: let us know if new data is available. We now have the scripts
in place to replace outdated data in OSM very quickly.
Regards
Karl
