Monitor's Special Note:
The reception remains the same on VOM English on 12085kHz during 0900-0930utc here for several seasons.The moderate to heavy interference as  side band splatter from a broadcasting station on 12080kHz during the mentioned time slot prevents me to copy signal of that station.Its only on rare occasion when the station broadcasting remains off the air or the station's reception not very strong here, you can hear to some extent of Voice Of Mongolia English can be audible here in my place.
