Short-wave international broadcasting in Mongolia dates back over 40 years.
The first broadcast in October, 1964 was a half hour transmission in Mongolian and Chinese, beamed to China.
It broadcasts a total of 8 hours a day in 5 languages: Mongolian, English, Chinese, Russian and Japanese.
It broadcasts through Soviet-made 100, 250, and 500 kW transmitters and curtain antennas built in the mid sixties.
The transmissions beamed to East Asia provide fair reception in South America, and the South Asian transmissions can be heard in Southern Africa and in Europe as well.
