BBS to expand its SW services Contrary to what was reported in the various e-groups some time back instead of shutting down their SW services BBS is going to continue and will also expand their SW services. Incidently I visited the AIR high power transmitters at Khampur at outskirts of Delhi alongwith other dxers and the station engineer over there Mr.V.K. Baleja informed that he recently came back from a trip to Bhutan after doing extensive repairs on the BBS sw txer ( 50 kw SK45S3). Apparently the txer had modulation problem & Mr Baleja was deputed to fix the same. He showed us the photo's of BBS txer & the repairs carried on over there. He also informed that BBS is soon going to install another 100kw sw txer with the help of Indian govt. After I came back from there checked the BBS website & here's the official bid invitation notice :
