Had conditions been good this morning (it was poor overall), the anmnts at 1002-1003 might have been quite readable. (5 Oct.) Only PNGs noted this morning, besides Wantok, were 3260 and 3325. The others weren't on. (5 Oct.) SOUTH KOREA 6480 MND R. Signal on the air at 1103:12, then pgming began abt a min. later w/Pop-like ballad by W vcl. Jamming abruptly started then at 1106:14. (5 Oct.)
