Radio 1RPH 1125 kHz is a volunteer manned AM band radio broadcast station in the Australian Capital Territory. [2]
Radio 1RPH is a member of the Radio Print Handicapped Network. Its catch-phrases are, Your information station and Turning print into sound, and it is intended to serve all those who are, for any reason, handicapped from reading printed material. [3]
Newspapers, magazines, books, and other printed material are read to air. 1RPH used to have a frequency just outside of the AM band on 1620kHz[4], and so suffered little interference, and was heard as far away as the United States.[5]
