VahonFM from the Netherlands heard widely on 1557 AM

A new ethnic AM station in the Netherlands has been launched on 1557 kHz. VahonFM Hindustani Radio began broadcasting in early October with a power of just 20 watts. This was first increased to 400 watts and eventually to 1 kW, which has made the station audible in much of Western and Northern Europe. The transmitter is located near Stompwijk. The station broadcasts also on 99.8 MHz FM. You can write to the station at VahonFM Hindustani Radio, Newtonstraat 25, 2562 KC Den Haag, Netherlands, or send an e-mail.
