The oldest university in Vietnam is also known as the Temple of Literature, which is about 2km west of Hoan Kiem Lake in downtown Hanoi. The Temple of Literature is a rare example of well-preserved traditional Vietnamese architecture. Founded in 1070 by King Ly Thanh Tong, the temple is dedicated to Confucius (Khong Tu) and honours Vietnam’s finest scholars and men of literary accomplishment. Vietnam’s first university was established here in 1076.

First on our show today, we’d like to welcome Gianluca Romani, our new listener from Italy. Gianluca wrote: “This is my first reception report to Radio Voice of Vietnam. The signal of your transmission is strong enough to be receivable even with a simple portable receiver with a whip antenna like mine. I listened to 9726 khz with no interference, but on 9730, there was a station interfering. I like far-east music so I will continue listening to your transmission”.

A: We have gotten a lot of good feedback on the quality of our broadcast to many countries. Conor Farrell of Ireland said “I’m delighted to report that I listened to VOV on 9730 khz on July 20th using a Tecsun PL-600 receiver with a random wire antenna. The signal quality was very good, with a SINPO rating of 45544. It was very interesting to learn about the popularity of tug of war in Vietnam, as it is a game I have played several times when I was younger.”
