Radio 1RPH 1125 kHz is a volunteer manned AM band radio broadcast station in the Australian Capital Territory.
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.
Newspapers, magazines, books, and other printed material are read to air. 1RPH used to have a frequency just outside of the AM band, and so suffered little interference, and was heard as far away as the United States.
