BHUTAN. 6035, BBS. Sept 18, with a marathon listening
session of this station that rarely extends their broadcasting
day so much; 1201-1420+ UTC; PBS Yunnan (China) cut off at 1201*,
leaving BBS in the clear; seemed to all be in vernacular; various
amounts of adjacent QRM, along with pulsating noise; 1216-1230
non-stop music (indigenous singing/chanting); interview 1330-1345;
usual brief spots with indigenous instrumental music at 1201, 1211,
1212, 1215, 1300, 1311, 1314 and 1317; many nice segments of
indigenous singing/music. Headed for a 24 hour broadcasting
day?

My local sunrise today was at 1352 UTC, while sunset at Thimphu, was
at 1202 UTC.

BHUTAN/CHINA. 6035, BBS & PBS Yunnan on Sept 19.

BBS: 1128-1157* UTC cut off; YL clearly in English (slight accent)
playing pop songs in English; mixing with PBS, but not too
bad, as PBS was mostly just announcer in Chinese. Yesterday's
extended BBS broadcast was just an anomaly.

PBS Yunnan: 1128-1213* UTC cut off; 1131 usual clear ID in English;
"Yunnan Radio and Television International, the Voice Shangri-la,"
but otherwise in Chinese and mixing with BBS; 1201 switched
to non-stop filler EZL instrumental music (always the same music!)
till suddenly off.
