Hello All,
Thanks again to Chuck, Theo and Guy for their suggestions on the 639-UnID mystery from Australia.
On the last day of the Cape Perpetua DXpedition Australian propagation was exceptional from 1315-1400, leading to wild mixes of Australian stations on both 639 and 891. On 639 two stations were fighting it out, one an ABC LR Network station // 891 and another commercial-sounding station. The commercial-sounding station was dominant in this vibrant mix recorded at 1338z (with an ID or promotion of sorts right at the beginning of the MP3):

The other Australian on 639 was paralleled with 891-5AN of the ABC LR Network, and is dominant over the commercial-sounding station in this vibrant mix recorded at 1342:

Another strong 639 recording was made earlier at 1317, with an ABC-sounding interview format on a station all alone on the frequency. Although this signal was not checked against 891, it is probably the same ABC LR network station

Of course there are two ABC LR network stations in Australia on 639, but apparently only one commercial station (2HC). Any comments or suggestions would be much appreciated.
73 and Good DX,
