1888 Radio-A Voice for the Amhara People monitored

 

Registration with the HFCC was effective on 10 May 2023, made by Radio Miami International (RMI) for 17630 kHz at 1700-1800 via Issoudun, France (250 kW at 127 degrees to CIRAF 48W). The notes column lists "1888 ra" and this would appear to be the name of the station: 1888 Radio - A Voice for the Amhara People.

I recorded today's program (14 June) and tried to translate snippets of audio from Amharic to English using Google Translate with little success, it did seem to recognize "Voice of Amhara" a couple of times. A subsequent Google search finally found their website at https://1888radio.org/ which says "Welcome to 1888 radio, the radio station advocating for the Amhara people. Our mission is simple: to give the Amhara people a voice and promote our culture, history, and rights. Every community deserves to be heard and represented. We are committed to ensuring the Amhara people are not ignored or overlooked". The frequency of 17630 kHz is mentioned.

They also have a YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@1888Radiomedia/featured
