Editing 2RPH (section)

==History==
The need for a radio reading service was realised in [[New South Wales]] in 1983 with the establishment of 2RPH as a ''Community Benefit Organisation'', incorporated as a Co-operative Society. The station began operating on 18 April 1983.

The first broadcast frequency was off the main broadcast band (1629&nbsp;kHz), and was thus unsuitable, as many people could not receive the station. The problem was partly resolved by a move to a more suitable band location (1539&nbsp;kHz, in 1991), and further in 1993 when the [[Government of Australia|Commonwealth Government]] provided the station with transmission facilities previously used by commercial station [[2UUS|2WS]]. These facilities are still in use and provide a strong signal to most parts of Greater Sydney and some suburbs outside the metropolitan area.<ref>{{cite web |title=About 2RPH |url=http://www.2rph.org.au/about |date=2006 |accessdate=4 August 2008 |publisher=2RPH | archiveurl= https://web.archive.org/web/20080719073415/http://2rph.org.au/about| archivedate= 19 July 2008 | url-status= live}}</ref>

In 2023, the station changed its name from ''Radio for the Print Handicapped NSW Cooperative Limited'' to ''Radio 2RPH Co-operative Limited''. This was in response to the word [[wikt:handicapped|handicapped]] being no longer acceptable in current Australian and global usage.
