BHUTAN. 6035, BBS, 1110-1152*, June 18. Just after the news in English (unreadable),
start of a segment of pop songs (Aerosmith - "Dream On," etc.); 1120-1132, announcers
in English (still unreadable); 1132-1152*, again with pop songs (The Doors - "Riders On
The Storm," etc.); no N. Korea jamming spur today, but FM99 (PBS Yunnan) started up
at *1139, after which the two stations were mixing together. A good day for BBS.
CHINA. 6035, FM99 relay via PBS Yunnan, *1139, June 18. Program already in progress;
mixing badly with BBS (Bhutan), till that went off at 1152* and FM99 continued on in the clear.
7210, PBS Yunnan, 1053, June 18. During a brief check, heard their IS (long musical loop),
but mixing with SOH and VOV also on frequency.
KOREA SOUTH. 4885, Echo of Hope - VOH, 1156, June 18. About a month ago the schedule
was changed for the English language lesson - "Easy English," during their former 1240-1300
time period; today tuned in to find them already in progress and ending right at 1200; one
announcer was Isaac, who has his own "Isaac Communication Center" (ICC), that produces
YouTube videos (http://bit.ly/2WKvfR6). At 1200, Today's News ("oneul-ui sosig"). So there
have been some changes to their former schedule at https://radio.chobi.net/DX/bbs/?res:3859 ,
but not sure just how much of a change? "Easy English" website - http://home.ebs.co.kr/easye/main .

SOLOMON ISLANDS. 5020, SIBC - the Voice of the Nation, on June 18, transmitter still on at
1305+, but unable to detect any audio.
