re Bhutan 6035 kHz shortwave appearance ?
I guess Sept 11, 2020 missed thatBhutan SW signal, see logs
BHUTAN 6035 kHz BBS Thimpu, at 1110-1129* UT on Sept 9. Clearly in
English; after the news, played one pop song and at 1121, more announcers;
one of their better days. Their daily cut-off times are not always the
same; Sept 8, at 1130* UT; Sept 7, at 1138* UT; the longer BBS stays on
the air, the better my reception becomes; Thimphu sunset at 1211 UT.
On Sept 7, noted PBS Yunnan's relay of FM99 (6035 kHz) suddenly on at
*1145 UT, with the program already in progress. Am glad the two stations
are not overlapping!

Also Thimpu Bhutan missed on 6035 kHz at 09.58 UT on Sept 11, strong
nearby
China station PBS Lhasa Baiding in Tibet with modern pop mx in Tibetan
language, S=9+20dB strength across Himalaya mountain into Delhi capital.
S=9+35dB at 10.30 UT. Nothing heard at 11.10 UT either.

Hi Glenn - I responded to Ralph's question directly to him. Ron
Ralph - BBS is gone but not forgotten. I occasionally listen to my past audio recordings. BBS indigenous
music https://app.box.com/s/r55xgwc8338yzzk5fljt .
http://bdxc.org.uk/asiapac.pdf [February 2023]:
"Bhutan Broadcasting Service - BBS is now inactive on shortwave. It had broadcast on 6035 kHz daily from
0555 to approximately 1900 local time (0000- 1300v UTC), but was last reported by Ron Howard in November
2020. Despite checks since then it has not been heard and is presumed to have permanently left shortwave."
