Many thanks to SRAA contributor, Tom Gavaras, who shares the following recording and notes:

Recording of Radio Kuwait during the start of the invasion by Iraq. My understanding is that the broadcast originated from the Radio Kuwait transmitter site, which had not yet been occupied by Iraqi forces. Transmission consisted of music and announcements in Arabic. If anyone can translate/summarize some of the announcements, it would be appreciated.

Reception location: Minnetonka, MN

Receiver: ICOM R71A
