Libya on mediumwave

Both remaining Libyan mediumwave transmitters can be monitored remotely by web SDRs based in southern Europe, with reception ranging from poor to good during the hours of local darkness. Libya National Radio (Benghazi) on 675 kHz is the easier catch, typically identifying on-air as "Idha'at Libiya al-Wataniya" and announcing the local 89.3 FM frequency (and occasionally the MW frequency). They have a Facebook page at http://tinyurl.com/benghaziradio and a clip can be heard via the Interval Signals Online website at http://tinyurl.com/isobenghazi Libya National Radio (Tripoli) on 1053 kHz is somewhat harder to hear with adequate reception due to sometimes strong co-channel QRM. No programming has been observed to be in parallel with Benghazi. LNR Tripoli has a Facebook page at http://tinyurl.com/tripoliradio. This state-run broadcaster's TV channel has a website at ltv.ly.
