** AUSTRALIA. 17750, June 19 at 0510, RA in English saying ``it was a bit long``, long pause, then Indonesian, so it`s a LL; 0511 jingle and says ``English lesson from Australia``, I think. Poor signal way offbeam here (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** KUWAIT. 15540, June 18 at 2036, R. Kuwait English service is again in Arabic instead, Qur`an // weaker 17550. And again today cut off the Q for English news headlines at 2050-2053 by YL with accent who speaks too fast (showing off her fluency?) and is hard to copy, and not // 17550; then back to Arabic, apparently with two or three program shifts by 2100 timesignal. 15540 stayed on the air with Arabic news until cut off at 2112*. I wonder if they also switch to English for the 1830 newscast when I am seldom listening (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** MEXICO. 6185, June 19 at 0458, Dixieland music, quite undermodulated, blocked at *0459:20 by 6190 CRI English via Sackville, on the correct frequency for a change, but XEPPM is about to sign off, anyway (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 10000, June 19 at 0504, upcoming leap second announcement by YL voice, for 2359:60 UT June 30. Must be mentioning this more than once an hour.
