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?

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!

So since you don't have receiver issues. It's either a US/Canada based
transmitter with Chinese programming or some extremely strange propagation
conditions is causing a severe fade where WSM is out of the picture. That
combined with a hundred of kilowatt transmitter may very well register China
for you. Did you get any place names or recording. That would be a great
catch though. Very near impossible under normal conditions but with the
radio comditions lately you never know.

Issues? You mean like you have? Like being a pathological liar, and a faux
Hispanic to boot?

Quite the combination.

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

What's the call? I don't see it listed on in the AMLOGBOOK.
