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?
