** AUSTRALIA. 6150, June 20 at 1201 check, RA is still clear of spurs, but RHC is back to CCI it underneath. I never heard any spurs surrounding strong 15240 around 0500 UT, the same transmitter (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** BANGLADESH. 15505, June 20 propagation is very poor, but BB detectable JBA from *1358:30, traces of IS by 1359:15, unable to tell if there was a timesignal (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CHINA. 9420, June 20 at 1227, no Voice of Greece audible, but Firedrake-like music, which is definitely not Firedrake jamming since 1230 announcement in Chinese, and then vocal music. Aoki shows the only other occupants of 9420 at any time are: CNR13 at 1057-1805, 100 kW, 298 degrees from Lingshi 725 site in Uyghur; and CNR6 at 2155-0100 & 0900-1605, 100 kW, 163 degrees from Beijing 491 site including 1100-1605 in Chinese = Mandarin. I think it`s the latter, altho EiBi shows the Lingshi broadcasts only. Another instance of self-collision by the ChiCom if they really run both at once (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CHINA. Firedrake, June 20 before 1300:
13795, poor at 1237 with Kuwaiti CCI. All the rest are CNR1 jammers:
12870, poor at 1237
13970, poor at 1237 with het; none in the 14s
15970, JBA at 1239
16360, JBA at 1241
June 20 before 1400:
13130, fair at 1353 with flutter
13920, very poor at 1353
14700, very poor at 1355 with hets
15900, very poor at 1356 with flutter; none in the 16s, 17s
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA. 17730, June 20 at 1242, RHC is the OSOB, with 17580 missing (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** MEXICO. Sporadic E opening continued from previous report, June 19 UT:
1609 on 4, previous signal of net-2 transfers to an infomercial about cicatrices (scars)
1609 on 5, net-5 toon, very good but video only, MUF not up to audio
1609 on 4, Televisa net-2 is back, talk show in studio; several fotos around 1616 UT with clock 11:16 in LL, and star bug in UR:http://www.w4uvh.net/tv2on4a.jpg http://www.w4uvh.net/tv2on4b.jpg

I thought it would be XHBS-TV, Los Mochis, Sinaloa, but local time there (MDT) is an hour earlier. Could still be XHBS with the wrong time clock relayed from the DF? A few other 2s-on-4 but not from probable target area, such as XHD-TV in Tampico. Soon faded out
1658 on 2, still CCI up to here as opening fitfully continues
1705 on 2, title DEJA QUE TE CUENTE [Let me tell you --- gossip show?]
1728 on 2, Gala TV swirl bug in LR, within a square, but bug comes and goes replaced by illegible texts, during cooking show, apparently. Per W9WI.com, the only Televisa 9 on channel 2 is:
Hermosillo SO XHHMA-TV 30000 ZH 29-04-29N 110-57-35W XLIC S:Televisa 9
but the usual advertence that it could still be some other Televisa local station relaying net-9 part-time.
1736 on 2, still Gala, now with soccer clips, then to anchors in studio with label behind them on set as Univision Deportes, i.e. the US net, apparently still with close ties to Televisa. Hermosillo fits as the opening is moving westward as follows:
1808 on 5, Azteca 13 making zero CCI with my cable leak of KOCO, gains when I rotate WSW, typical of XHAQ Mexicali BCN
1808 on 3, Mexicali ads, certainly XHBC, so both still analog
1808 on 6, algo as MUF ascends, soon at 1810 visibly net-5 with toons, perhaps Woody Woodpecker & Foghorn Leghorn (did they ever co-star?). Surely what has become of former English/San Diego station XETV Tijuana, which still hasn`t turned off channel 6 analog.
Now trying FM but no DX heard in the few semi-open lower frequencies here. Opening dies even from TV by 1824, conveniently as I need to concentrate on producing World of Radio 1674.
2221 on 2, with WOR completed, CCI is starting to fade in again, this time Es peaking south
2222 on 5, zero-CCI video with local leak, again at 2244
2223 on 3, some Spanish audio, not much video
2320 on 2, +v bug in UR, i.e. Más Visión, i.e. XEWO-TV Guadalajara, in and out spotted again at 2349, 2359, and weak CCI most of the next hour.
Another opening in progress June 20 at 1425 tune-in on 2, algo;
1427 on 2, fade in enough to see f bug in LR = foro TV net-4 newscast; and TELEACTIVA in UR, i.e. XEFB-TV Monterrey NL; soon out
1456 on 2, another fade-in, studio show discussing weight loss, MTY bug in LR, so XHCNL Saltillo, Coahuila; see photo:http://www.w4uvh.net/xhcnl.jpg
1459 audibly mentions Monterrey, which it is relaying from ch 34
1537 on 2, another brief fade-in seeming political talk, no bugs seen
1628 on 2, another brief video fade-in of algo

I don`t recall ever hearing it before, but my log does as in DXLD 10-44:

UNIDENTIFIED. 12210.5-USB, June 20 at 1334, simplex 2-way between fishermen with southern accents, complaining about something concerning Texas and later mentioning Guatemala. The main speaker is lickety-split a mile a minute, and swears a lot; the other much slower. They stopped at 1342 without any IDs. Is this a designated ship-to-ship channel? Or poachers. Only frequency hits in UDXF yg concern Russian military. Does the FCC care about swearing on 2-way utility communications or just fine innocent bystander broadcasters?
