Where does the name Feba come from?

Feba began as Far East Broadcasting Associates, a small group of British supporters of FEBC, the US-based organisation, Far East Broadcasting Company.In 1959 this group of British supporters took up the task of establishing a station in the Seychelles (which was a British Protectorate at the time) from which they could broadcast into India, becoming the Far East Broadcasting Association.As we don’t broadcast to the Far East, we are now known as Feba Radio but in practice we just use Feba as it’s less of a mouthful, and we broadcast to Africa, South and Central Asia and the Middle East.
