LIBYA [and not] The 17 MHz band is a mess today (May 9) at 1300-1400 UT
between 17620 and 17640 kHz.
Libya in Arabic on 17620 (Vof Africa ID including Ozma word - see WRTH
pp457).
co-ch presumed RFI in French - both equal level.
Libya 17625 same as 17620 and co-ch CRI Chile.
Amal 17627.5 - not very strong, and disappeared before 1400 UT.
Africa #1 on 17630 fair to good.
Unidentified at 1345 UT on 17635 poor strength.
Libya Voice of Africa in Swahili was audible on 17600 kHz at fair level
but low audio and // 17725 (this is registered from May 5 with HFCC
instead of 21695). So Libya had four transmitters on air simultaneously at
same strenth - but from where? 17620 and 17625 went off after clock chimes
and Arabic announcement at 1400. Whatever was using 17635 also went at
1400.
The Afro-pops was stationary on 17660, and no trace today of the wide-band
noise jammer.
