Both both VU3ZBG & VU2XBP were 59 here.I think signals reaching there very weak in Chennai & more generally South from East & North East of India. And I might have not mentioned many hams which callsigns I forgot to note down and this is just a rough summary and might be small errors here & there.The reception on 7050kHz and overall on 40mb in the morning is improving each morning as we are entering deep in the winter season here.Hope better condition will remain if not the best HI HI!!!

Bhutan Broadcasting Serivice (BBS) on 96.0MHz
For several years now Bhutan Broadcasting Serivice (BBS) on radio is only available on FM mode.BBS's long standing shortwave frequency on 6035kHz is off the air for several years.Earlier here in my place in Western Assam ,Abhayapuri BBS on 90.0MHz was the most consistent and more reliable reception giving station.But now no transmission as such audible on 90.0MHz.Now BBS is only audible on 96.0MHz with good reception specially in the morning.
I usually sometimes listen to their Nepali transmission from 0400 to 0800utc and their English transmission to from 0800utc onwards perhaps upto 1100utc or 1200utc not sure.
I am also not sure from where this 96.0MHz of BBS is transmitting and reaching my radio.As some parts major cities of Bhutan is within 80-200km of my area aerially.Let me explore and discuss with media experts.And another interesting thing I have observed during their opening announcements both in Nepali & English Service, the hosts often mentions the shortwave frequency of operation 6035kHz with meterband though it is off the air for several years.
