** CANADA. 9555, June 28 at 0537, RCI IS with French and English IDs alternating is playing after the closedown at 0528 of the Voice of Vietnam relay. Perhaps for old times` sake? Very good signal (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** KUWAIT. 15540, June 27 at 1833, R. Kuwait is really in English today during main newscast, about, who else, government honcho Sheikh al-Sabah; at 2009 in rock music, while 17550 was in Arabic. Both with good, improved signals (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** MEXICO. Sporadic E analog TVDX, UT June 28:
1443, ch 2 fades in from south with net-4 `f` bug lower-right in news magazine, briefly snow-free; XHY Mérida? 1505 `Matutino Express`. SIPSE-2 live UStreaming is ``off air`` so no comparison possible
1452, signs of CCI, video up to ch 5 video
1458, on 4, toon briefly locks in, so net-5?
1501, on 3, tv3 bug in UR, i.e. XHP Puebla; with almost-zero beat bars much like we get from the BCN clash, but definitely not from west.
1515, on 3, Universidad Autónoma de Puebla ad after IFE PSAs
Opening continues maybe building as I close this report
