INDIA [Darjeeling, Sikkim, Bhutan] DXpedition to Eastern Himalaya
On April 16-27, 2010, I joined the first Danish guided tour by the
Albatros Travel to visit Eastern Himalaya with stays in Darjeeling and
Kalimpong (West Bengal, India), Gangtok (Sikkim, India) and Puntsoling,
Thimphu, Punakha and Paro. (All cities in the Kingdom of Bhutan).
With stays at hotels in these seven cities, I was able to monitor the
broadcasting situation in this remote area. My receiver was a portable
Sangean ATS909 with a whip antenna, often supported with an eight metres
longwire put out of the window for shortwave (SW) reception.
Daylight SW reception
Band scans at 0200-1200 UTC in Darjeeling, Gangtok, Thimphu, Punakha and
Paro.
