Bhutan
6035, Bhutan Broadcasting Service, Sangaygang, checked them from 2355 ..no signal till 0055 when heard weak tone and carrier. Then suddenly at 0100 started music. I feel since the SW would not propagate at 0000, they bring up the transmitter on SW at 0100 straight into the programme. On Jan 06 at 0033 I was hearing them weak, a bit stronger at 0050 but bad splatter from 6030 Bible Voice to India from Wertachtal (500 kW). (Goonetilleke). It seems they have a new s/on time around 0100. I heard them at *0050, Jan 04; *0100-0140, Jan 05; on Jan 07 it was very weak and only audible at 0140-0155; *0100 on Jan 08, instrumental music, native songs, talks in Dzongkha, 34333. (Petersen)
