USAF EC-130J STEEL 74 has been transmitting on 6877.0 kHz to Libya this evening. A recorded message in English, French and Arabic on SSB says "Libyan ships or vessels remain anchored. Do not leave port. The Gaddafi regime forces are violating a United Nations resolution ordering the end of hostilities in your country. If you attempt to leave port you will be attacked and destroyed immediately. For your own safety, do not leave port."
The Commando Solo is operated exclusively by the 193rd Special Operations Wing, which is based at the Harrisburg International Airport in Middletown, Pennsylvania. According to the Milcom Monitoring Post.
the transmission is "slightly jammed". Here is a recording of the transmission, with no jamming audible. (Sennitt, Mar 20, via Koie)
The Danish F-16 are based in Sicily on the U.S. Naval Air Station Sigonella which also uses 6730 kHz as Karup Air Base.
