there, as mentioned below. Thank you all!

signals from China, a dozen Indians, a station or two from Pakistan. If I
have my way would like to reactivate at least one Transmitter on 60m from
Sri Lanka.. but some more time for it. So, little motivation to chase
after DXing though that love is still there. Thus when Anker asks me to
check something.. the old love comes rushing in. I have better antennas
than ever before, too many receivers and transceivers than I can tune, but
so little to listen for". However, at
you can see what other DX-ers heard in 2006! So there
are still many stations broadcasting on the tropical bands, but the sun
activity is very low now.

BBS heard here on 6035 May 20th signing on 0003 with brief announcements
followed by distinctive bursts of local instrumental music and monks
chanting to past 0016, fair on clear channel, best in USB, first time
heard here, worth stopping up late for.

At 0008 Wolf-Dieter Behnke from somewhere here in Germany posted on the A-
DX list "super signal, and this one hour after local sunrise in Bhutan".
Of course I checked out 6035 shortly after 0030 but found the signal a bit
too weak to make out more than what appeared to be a SAH of a few Hertz.
What else is there?
To recap the old info: This new transmitter is a Thomson Grass Valley TSW
2100D, delivered with a new 5/6 MHz quadrant antenna. News releases about
this project mentioned as operational frequencies 5035 and 6035 but also
7500, although the antenna would not cover the last one channel, so
probably the mention of 7500 was just a mistake. The transmitter site
outside Thimpu is located at 2600 metres above sea level.

CANADA [and non]. To all those who think it is a good idea to move CHU
to the standard frequencies of WWV's 5, 10, 15 MHz, think again. Although
