Voice of Russia -- Krasnodar Krai

The Voice of Russia  Pashto/Dari broadcast from Krasnodar, Krasnodar Krai, southern Russia was heard on 17 July 2011 from 12.00 to 14.00 UTC on 15.510 kHz. Signal (SINPO) at 12.10 UTC was 54545 -- clear and audible speech  with slight transmitter modulation and fading. At 13.45 reception was degraded to 44334 -- still clear and audible, but weaker signal, increased QRN and fading. 

Programming comprised mostly regional music interspersed between  news and current event commentaries. The music was quite unique and enjoyable, well worth the listen.

A reception report was submitted by email,  for which I received a prompt reply from Elena Osipova, Letters Department, World Service in English, Voice of Russia, stating that my report had been "forwarded to the Middle East section of the Voice of Russia for verification."
