Psyops and Jamming

Psyops:
Since March 2011 the Lybian theatre of Nato military operations, started with "Odissey Dawn" and now "Unified Protector" has been the interesting scenario for HF-PSYOPS (Psycological Operations) operated by the EC-130 COMMAND SOLO.
You can easily find some info about this modded Hercules C130J on the net :
Here the frequencies used since March:
6877 Khz
10405 Khz
10404 Khz
10124.5 Khz
The last frequency is in the middle of the 30 mt. ham band and is used by an ALE lybian network (GMNRA Great Manmade River Autority)

I have some recordings and texts, but i would like to create a complete archive of any transmission made until now. If you have a good recording with time and date, please email me or post a comment with link under this post.

The Jamming:
Should be interesting to know/study the transmitters and the type of jamming equipment; most probably something mobile like this:
In this page you can also find some jamming modulation samples;
Some time ago, as an oddities fan, I was listening some OLD recordings from the CONET PROJECT (Iran-Iraq period) on their soundcloud page and my attention was captured by this file:
Here you can listen different kinds of jamming modulations and.... something could be familiar to your ears: one of the modulations is very similar (mostly identical) to the one used in these days by Lybians.

If you are interested in reading a little bit of jamming history, this is a book you MUST read:
and this is a link with a lot of info and pictures of equipment:
