I hooked my 80 meter dipole to my Sherwood receiver and was listening to
WSM....Grand Ole Opry outta Nashville on 650 when a Mandarin Chinese
station started coming in and out....Time here is 01:52 UTC


I don't believe mainland China has been heard in that region since the early
50's, and that on a totally clear channel.

The possibilities for 650 would be some local station running programming
for a Chinese community in North America. There is a station near Richmond,
VA, with major power, but daytime. A low power station in MA, and then a 250
watter in Houston are the North American stations... so nothing licensed to
650 seems likely. Any chance you have some receiver issues?
