LIBYA 15150 [tentatively Libya] Likely third tx from Sabrata noted
again on Dec 10th and 11th at 1300-2000 UT. Test transmission with modern
Cairo style Arabic songs and dance orchestra music. Co-channel QRM of
VoRUS Moscow at 13-15 UT. Voice of Africa Sabrata Libya still on 17725 and
21695 kHz at time slot from 1200-1700 UT range.

UNID Thanks to a tip of Noel Green-UK noted an Unidentified Arabic music
station on 15150 kHz in 1300-2000 UT slot on Dec 9th and 10th. QRM co-
channel by VoRUS-RUS, but covered the latter station totally here in
south-western Germany.
Station supposed to be originate from Sabrata Libya, but noted the two
Sabrata outlets still on 17725 and 21695 kHz, IDed in En at 1410 UT,
Sabrata txion very poor signal.
Arabic mx is like Radio Cairo songs in past 40 years, probably N O T Iran
style. I asked Tarek - our friend in Cairo - to identify that music style.
Otherwise transmission on 15150 kHz is much more powerful and noted
different modern modulation sound, than ever heard on previous IRIB on
15150. And also total different to well known RTA Algiers relay via VTC
Merlin U.K. relays.
Transmission sound so powerful, like 500 kW beasts of Rampisham, Kuwait or
BSKSA Riyadh. Still a puzzle.
Maybe the Libyan's replaced/re-built another THIRD tx by new Tales-
Thomcast or Harris unit at Sabrata ? And on final field test now, playing
Arabic music continously.
