@DorsetRadio: Thanks for your note. No, I only have a few words of Arabic but I work with colleagues who are fluent in it. If you post any more clips of these rebel broadcasts I will be happy to have them translated for you. Many congratulations for the fine DX. I hear that 1125 is off the air today, but 675 is still broadcasting.

@sautindogo Cheers, it's all for the common good :)

I will be uploading today some 3 clips of 675 kHz, in one of them they lost power or something ?Will also post a short clip of 1125 kHz but sig is very weak.

Greetings from DorsetRadio, UK

The second presenter says: "This is the Voice of Free Libya radio, from the slopes of the great Al-Jabal al-Akhdar. Dear brothers and sisters, especially in the liberated areas, by the grace of God. We now want to say... that we have appeared before the whole world to be the fastest revolutions in the world, calm and peaceful. We are now in the stages of calm, especially in the liberated areas... We are now in the final stages, we need to pray, to be calmer, we need to pray..."

Thank you very much for providing this information! Do you speak Arabic, if I may ask ?

The first presenter says: "From the slopes of the great Green Mountain... as we talk to you on these great waves, the waves of the Voice of Free Libya radio... our frequency is 1125 kHz... and we have been joined by our sister Benghazi, our beloved sister Radio Benghazi, on 675 kHz. This is the Voice of Free Libya, the voice of the grandsons of Umar al-Mukhtar [resistance leader during the Italian colonization of Libya."

1:20 "Saout al Libia al hurra" - Voice of free Libya. cool recording.

[DorsetRadio]

Thanks for providing the meaning of "Saout al Libia al hurra", this will be a useful, hopefully identifier for us all who don't understand this language

This is a broadcast from one of two MW transmitters believed to have been seized by anti-Gadiffi activists (the other one being Benghazi on 675 kHz). As heard on this clip, they identify as Voice of Free Libya or Radio Free Libya. Congratulations on getting such a clear recording of a station which may turn out to be quite short-lived!

[DorsetRadio]

They must have seized that station from yesterday, last night I could hear them being all excited and unlike their usual broadcast "etiquette".

Also there is something going on with their SW broadcast to Central and East Africa from Sabrata. They played a short extract in English and all of a sudden their English TX turned into (most probably) Swahili.

I have recorded and will be uploading these later on.

Fingers X-ed; no more loss of life :s
