## Tuning into Hope: The Enduring Legacy of HCJB, La Voz de los Andes
For over nine decades, a powerful voice has echoed from the Andes Mountains, carrying messages of hope, education, and entertainment across Ecuador and the world. That voice belongs to HCJB, La Voz de los Andes (The Voice of the Andes), a pioneering radio station broadcasting at 600 AM.
Located in Pichincha, Ecuador, HCJB has a rich history intertwined with the development of radio broadcasting itself. Founded in 1931, it holds the distinction of being one of the first missionary radio stations in the world. From its early days, HCJB faced the challenging terrain of the Andes, using innovative engineering to overcome geographical obstacles and reach remote communities.
