"Radio Nacional de la RASD" started broadcasting on 28 December 1975, shortly after the beginning of the Western Sahara War. Previously, some emissions had been made from supportive radio stations in Algiers and Tripoli, as "La Voz del Sáhara Libre" (The Voice of Free Sahara). In the first months of the station and due to the war situation, the first transmissions were made from moving trucks, with very limited airplay.
