Dont think so David, Switched over to several other rigs and same
results....WSM came back in strong and is already fading back to
chinese...strange stuff!

If you have selectable sideband or at least SSB, you can check one thing.

If from China (either mainland or Taiwan), the station would actually be
on 648 KHz, rather than 650. If it is right on 650, then it's in the
Americas for sure.

Here's a list of stations on 648 in China... none look like they would
make it there..

Rare DX catch but if the signal is coming over the dark parts of the earth,
it could be possible. Not to mention the ionospheric conditions were horrid
for any sort of HF activity especially 80 meters and above. Even during the
day, my 1500 foot longwire couldn't pick up much in the way of quality
signals on the HF bands. I will say that Jordan, Pakistan, India and other
stations came in quite well today.
