In 2014, PCJ is launching an international shortwave relay service based at a shortwave transmitter that it has constructed in Taiwan.

Lithuania: KBC Trucker Radio

Name

The name "PCJ Radio" is a tribute to the pioneering shortwave station PCJJ, a precursor of long-time shortwave broadcaster Radio Nederland Wereldomroep. The Happy Station Show aired on those two stations from 1928 to 1995.
