Yes, I agree that the Indian regionals have all but disappeared from 60 m this season.I have hrd Thiru on 5010 and Jeypore on 5040, but that's about it. I think last Fall was better than now.4-5 years ago seemed to be the peak for these stations when I could hear just about everything there was on 60m except for Aizawl on 5050. I have some great recordings from Winter 2004-2005 and 2005-2006 including all 3 Kashmir sites but nary a QSL for any of them.
