From Radios to Stations: Why Local Voices Carry Farther

With a Galcom installation technician

Galcom is best known for radios, but the deeper story is the stations — more than 700 of them, each run by local believers broadcasting in their own languages. One of our installation technicians walks through what it actually takes to put a station on the air: the suitcase-sized studio, the antenna raised by a village work crew, the first test broadcast.

“The moment I love,” he says, “is handing over the microphone. It's their station from that second. We just carried the boxes.”
