Voice Of Mongolia English In Abhayapuri On 12085kHz During 0900-0930utc A Case Of The Same Old Story..Of Interference from 12080kHz

 The reception of Voice Of Mongolia(VOM) English during 0900-0930utc  on 12085kHz is just like preveious several seasons... the same old story of ..moderate to strong interference from a broadcasting station on 12080kHz as a form of sideband splatter.Its has been very diffcult to copy the signal of VOM English.Its on rare occasion when I  the station's signal on 12080kHz becomes weak or the signal of VOM English becomes stronger due to favourable  propagation condition I can copy VOM English sometime for a shorter duration as per my observations over several reasons.

This happened on January 22nd of this year..

Voice Of Mongolia English used to verify reception reports with printed QSL Cards.I received several printed QSL Cards from it.Mrs Densmaa, Mail Editor Of VOM used to sign those QSL Cards.Here is the scanned copy of the front & back side of my first QSL Card from Voice Of Mongolia English Service.

For many years,I have not sent reception reports to it.Though I sent many correspondence via emails about poor reception of Voice Of Mongolia English here in my area and made  sugguestion for change of frequency etc.But might be due to good reception of in vast  parts of the target area they did not change frequency or time slot etc of this broadcast.

More such reports/observations etc soon.
