Commando Solo: Libya PSYOPs Mission Broadcast

Had excellent (almost epic) sunspot activity today. Managed to log Alaska, Argentina, Australia, Cuba, Dominican Republic, Japan, Korea, Libya, Mexico, Sudan and Trinidad and Tobago. The Libya logging was the most special to me because it involved a crew I’ve been trying to intercept for some time. ‘Commando Solo’ is a United States Air Force EC-130J designed for one purpose and that’s psychological operations (PsyOps). The aircraft is equipped with high powered television and radio transmitters intended to broadcast pre-recorded propaganda messages. The following audio clip is a broadcast they made today on 10405 kHz to Libyan naval officers and sailors.

I picked up some tunisian chatter when that went down.

I haven’t noticed a trend, but I haven’t been monitoring.

I will tune up.

Thanks for the Frequencys

The Clinton Administration decided not to use Commando Solo to jam the genocide-inciting broadcasts in Rwanda because it would have been expensive, and the lawyers said it wouldn’t be legal; note it was Ted Kennedy that asked the Administration to do it, though:

Question - why would PSYOP’s address Lybian soldiers in ENGLISH????
Like, what percentage of Lybian population do you think speaks English?

Obama is going out of his way to look like a military leader.

This propaganda isnt aimed at Libya, It is aimed at us.
