This place appears to be located in southwestern Libya:<br />

<br />

The TDP website also mentions the installation of two new 500 kW<br />

transmitters at Sabratha in 20<strong>05</strong>. The actual location of a site labelled<br />

"Sabratha" appears to be unclear, it seems not to be visible on Google<br />

Earth which shows Sabratha in high resolution.<br />

Assuming that Ludo Maes has not altered the meaning of the symbols he<br />

uses, the two transmitters of 500 kW at Sabratha and the two 100 kW at<br />

Ghat were actually or<strong>der</strong>ed in 20<strong>05</strong> and 2006 respectively. That is the<br />

meaning of the superscript 0 adjacent the indicated year on the TDP<br />

listings.<br />

So, depending upon how long it takes to get transmitters on air from<br />

or<strong>der</strong>ing them, it might mean that the 500 kW units were the one's we heard<br />

using 15235 and 15415, and that the 100 kW units have not yet come on air?<br />

(Noel R. Green-UK, Mar 20)<br />

TDP mentions two new Libyan SW units at/near Ghat - made by Thomson in<br />

Switzerland/France.<br />

<br />

shows a Ghat village midst in desert, in southwestern corner of the<br />

country. 13 kms east of ALG/LBY bor<strong>der</strong> line. 20 kms south of Ghat airport.<br />

Ghat - in Google Earth in low resolution, - 30 kms to high resolution<br />

area. Nothing special - like antenna towers discovered yet.<br />

A mo<strong>der</strong>n highway connects Ghat with the other Libyan SW site location at<br />

Sebha-Sabhah more easterly. Ghat and Sebha-Sabhah contain both medium-<br />

sized airport runways, -- 480 kms distance between these villages.<br />

At Sebha-Sabhah two separate radio transmitter sites could be seen, one<br />

near the airport, at<br />

26 59 07.00 N 14 29 40.66 E<br />

for Airport Radio purpose ?<br />

The other more likely the LJB shortwave site installation further<br />

easterly. TDP mentions two Harris SW-100 kW types at Sebha 14.50E 25.52N.<br />

I remember me, that these units were in service also as jamming station<br />

against Tchad rebelles radio outlets in 4-5 MHz range in the 90ties.<br />

Sebha-Sabhah - The antenna on the rightmost lower corner looks like a 5<br />

MHz fountain antenna at<br />
