Station Engineer, Mr. D. Thinley, has confirmed by e-mail that he has received my snail mail reception report and will answer with a QSL. The e- mail connection to the BBS is sporadic. I sent him two e-mails replying to his e-mails to me, but in both cases they bounced back with this message: "Your message was not delivered because the destination computer was not reachable within the allowed queue period. The amount of time a message is queued before it is returned depends on local configuration parameters.
Most likely there is a network problem that prevented delivery, but it is also possible that the computer is turned off, or does not have a mail system running right now. Your message was not delivered within 2 days and 0 hours. Host bbs.com.bt is not responding." (Anker Petersen-DEN, June 7 dswci DXW)

6035, Bhutan Broadcasting Service, Thimpu, going past 1600 UT, May 28, running extended services for its first parliamentary election trials with English discussions. Bad interference co-channel NHK.
