For the last few nights on 1020 KHz where I normally hear KDKA out of
Pittsbugh I've been hearing a non english voice (French?) and the
"tick-tock" of what sounds like a time signal.

During this time of solar storms what is that I'm hearing?

Some of the latin stations use a clock ticking effect. Perhaps the french
(Quebec) station is as well, or you're hearing them both together.
