Just faded in here, hearing some music.

No copy at all here, while 6935u is still very faint at 1124z.

S4 to S5 into the Mojave Desert, of California.  Would be pretty fair copy if the Chinese OTHR was not setting on freq aas it does every morning.  As it is I can tell when music is on or when the OP is talking, but that is about it.  ID at 1232 UTC faded up to solid copy during the ID.

Peskies in SS are setting on 6950 USB though, so I am listening in LSB to hear the audio.

Caught the tail end of the SSTV on 6935 USB, which was a very nice S9+10. I don't have SSTV decode yet on my SDR workstation, though.
