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?


No, but there's an excellent chance that you have some psychiatric
issues.
