Monitoring Bhutan

Bhutan
5030.03v, BBS, 1244-1500:44* (UTC) Dec 15. Decent reception - an excellent frequency choice as it has been vacant since Sarawak closed down in the middle of this year. Mostly in what sounded like French although I thought I heard a different dialect too? Slowly drifted down to 5030.0. Very nice! Their external service? Played a lot of nice indigenous music!

1244-1330 on air phone calls.
1330-1359 cute on air phone calls from young children singing songs.
1400-1423 talking followed by indigenous music.
1500 - English “This is the new service of the Bhutan Broadcasting Service” and shortly off.

MP3 edited audio in no particular chronological order, with ID in English
