Libya 2.8E

[aceb]

I've been checking the Libyan mux on Rascom today and 4102 has dropped off air since earlier this afternoon. There is however an intermittent signal on 4083V 2667 3/4 DVB-S LJB FLYWAY. I've had no content from it so far but there is the odd click and crackle on the audio.

The rebels have taken over it

There was talk that the rebbels have taken state tv and also talk of a NATO airstrike attacking state tv and taking it off air too

That said there was talks that the rebbels had arrested Gadaffis son but he was on BBC news live at 11pm last night trying to big up his dads supporters so you dont know who to beleave when it comes to libya

I`d keep an eye on it and keep checking back because if the rebbels have taken it and its still in a serviceable condition you might see rebbel tv broadcasts and/or NATO Psyops like the ones broadcast from the NATO aircraft on HF radio to the pro Gadaffi supporters on the ground (psycological opperations, where by they try and get into the enemies head, telling them to lay down arms and go home, telling them they will be shot onsight if seen and other things like that to try and convince em to stop fighting for Gadaffi)

It`s a very interesting time news wise in libya and live feeds should be all over as world wide news agencies try to cover the events, the BBC have a man in a hotel and Aljazeera have people all over the last Gadaffi stronghold so its deffo worth watching out for anything from that area now

It was nice having it as a beacon around 3E, if nothing else...

4102V is back up this morning, all channels are showing the new Libyan flag with text overlaid. It says Libya in the red band, not sure what is written in the green band. Now has Paul McCartney 'Freedom' playing on it along with what sounds like voices of Libyans during the revolution.

This has had a large increase in power today as it's registering 90% S/Q up from around 25%! Now relaying an FM radio station.
