Voice of Russia (Serpukhov)

Voice of Russia, presumably in Serpukhov (a suburb of Moscow), was heard in English on 18 October 2011 from 15.00 to 16.05 UTC on 11.985 kHz. Signal (SINPO): 45333 -- good signal strength and clear speech, despite moderate static and some fading. Reception worsened at 15.30 UTC to 42222 due to interference from an adjacent station and increased static. At 16.00 UTC signal improved to 55434. 

Reception report was sent emailed to Voice of Russia. Within 24 hours I received confirmation from VOR that a QSL card has been mailed. It was received on 8 November 2011.
