** CANADA. 650, Oct 22 at 1219 UT, ``Sweet Caroline`` song in English, so unlikely the usual SRS occupant of 650, XETNT. No, ID as CKOM and traffic report concerning Highway 11 from Saskatoon to Prince Albert; 21 after 6 TC in CST, warm hi today to be 13 degrees; 1226 UT ad for potashcorp.com --- CKOM Saskatoon is dominating frequency with little else: Saskaktchewan rather than Sinaloa today! Yet, checked 540 at 1225 UT and no CBK. CKOM is 10/10 kW, U4: both day and night patterns are nominally northerly, but day pattern also has minor lobe to south. Announcer helpfully said their sunrise would be at 7:43 [1343 UT]. My last logs of CKOM were in Sept & Dec 2013 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CHINA [and non]. CNR1 jammers if still on have not been propagating for weeks in our mornings on the higher bands, but conditions are improving Oct 22. Still don`t hear any way-out-of-banders between 12 and 18 MHz around 1310 or 1355, just these: 15570, Oct 22 at 1311, CNR1 jammer, heavy flutter vs het from 15568, V. of Tibet via Tajikisitan which Aoki says runs only from 1306 to 1315. 17705 & 15795, Oct 22 at 1310, CNR1 jammers, vs AIR in Chinese, and on 17705 also QRMing Saudi Arabia which doggedly stix to same frequency, but it should be clear after 1315 15265 & 15115, Oct 22 at 1312, usual inband CNR1 jammers (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) See also TIBET [non] ** MEXICO. 900, Oct 22 at 1235, from WSW, ``música country en español`` is losing out to KSGL Wichita with nostalgia. Odd format for a Mexican leads to XEDT, Ciudad Cuauhtémoc, Chihuahua (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** TAJIKISTAN. 4790, Oct 22 at 1300, BBCWS relay with timesignal ending one second late, into Uzbek. Grayline is about right: sunrise here in Enid *1245 UT, sunset in Dushanbe 1238* UT. CODAR QRM as always (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** TIBET [non]. 19000, Oct 22 at 1308, weak talk but mostly het with FRG-7`s even-MHz birdie, denoting a signal here from RFA via Kuwait in Tibetan, on its Thursday-only frequency at 13-14 (and 11-12), and/or CNR1 jamming. First time in months I`ve heard any of these jumparound 18-19 MHz band frequencies. CRI EAST TURKISTAN, French on 17560 & 17650 is propagating fairly well with flutter at same time.

WTWW is never on this early, and the only other station scheduled in Aoki, HFCC is KSDA GUAM but at 1200-1300 only, in Mandarin Chinese, Amoy, or Cantonese, which might be subject to jamming, but what could this be after 1300 and 1400?
