Wow, nice and unbelievable at the same time! It's hilarious how a station can get out only a few miles locally at night but be heard 700 or 800 miles away clearly. There are two stations in the clip - 1440 AFN Daegu, 5kw in Chilgok, and 1440 AFN Osan in Pyeongtaek, 1kw. These are the only two

Listen to the clip carefully. There seems to me to be several AFN stations audible, all slightly out of sync. PAL lists 3 in Korea. My suspicion is that we're hearing all 3. In Masset, I have very occasionally heard similar, slightly out of sync transmitters on 1575, when programming is in //.
