Carlos Andrade Marín was working as a secretary for the president of Ecuador in 1930 when HCJB applied for a radio contract. The President initially left the contract unsigned. So Carlos placed it on top of the papers given to the president each morning until he finally signed it.

Twenty-six years later, as Mayor of Quito, Dr. Carlos Andrade Marín helped inaugurate HCJB’s new 50,000-watt transmitter. Former President of Ecuador, Galo Plaza Lasso, also took part in the celebration.
