Colin,

K* means zero or more K's,  change (K*) to (K...) and you should get the
results that you want.  I believe all stations are 4 chars.  Also you have
a ^  before the [1-9], you don't want that either.

ANY    ^(NOUS42|NOUS[1-9]) (K...)    PIPE -strip -close

If you just want the NOUS42 report then it should be:

ANY    ^(NOUS42) (K...)    PIPE -strip -close

Robb...
