Actually, no. Libia and Vaman Sardessai (later ambassador to Angola and also editor of Goa Today for awhile) play an active role in running the India-supported 'clandestine' radio station out of near Castle Rock on the India-side of the then border.
To my knowledge they were not involved with the Panjim radio station, though Mrs Lobo-Sardessai has somewhere (if I recall right) spoken about her role in announcing via hlicopter and calling for peace and calm after the Indian troops moved in.
