The Mapimí Silent Zone (Spanish: La Zona del Silencio) is the popular name for a desert patch near the Bolsón de Mapimí in Durango, Mexico, overlapping the Mapimí Biosphere Reserve. It is the subject of an urban myth that claims it is an area where radio signals and any type of communications cannot be received.

As far as the links go, I'm not sure what happened. I sometimes have formatting trouble, myself, so I usually add the links after I've written everything. I'll at it to the dev's to-do list.
When I take the concept of radio-silence and put into action, the first word that came to mind to explain it was, overwhelming. Let's see. If I were a DJ or News Broadcaster years ago, and I received devastating news and it was my responsibility to share that news with the listeners, I would probably be overwhelmed. I would stop the music, let there be dead air-time to get everyone's attention and seriously gather my thoughts before relaying the dreaded information to them. Now that I've written it, I say radio-silence is: Composing before giving overwhelming information.
The silent treatment is given when there are no words in any language to show how you feel at the moment. This should be given when you feel violent toward someone or when you are so hurt you know whatever you say still will not express how deeply you are hurt.
