| The old 400 Watt Edystone transmitter is still on display in the BBS entrance hall. NYAB (National Youth Association of Bhutan) began operating it 30 years ago. The present engineer still remembers how hard it was to tune and maintain it; he would get frequent electrical shocks! Before being used by NYAB, it was used by the Government Civil Wireless Dept. for radiotelephone contacts between Thimphu and remote areas of the country. |
