This is mostly a collection of microwave antennas (the round ones) and UHF TV antennas (the vertical square ones). Nearly all these have been replaced or (I suspect) decommissioned by the time I'm writing this in 2020. Mouse over for details.

The Services Sound and Vision Corporation (SSVC) is a registered charity set up to entertain and inform Britain's Armed Forces around the world. Its mission: To be the preferred provider of intertainment and information to Service personnel and their families worldwide.
Their work makes a considerable contribution to the maintenance of the efficiency and morale of the three Services. Its activities are carried out directly for the Ministry of Defence. Any profits are donated towards Forces' welfare.
One of the activities carried out by SSVC is BFBS Radio. It has three networks broadcasting pop and speech radio 24 hours a day, combining the best of local radio from eight overseas locations with a service relayed from the UK to places around the world wherever significant numbers of Service personnel are based. BFBS Radio currently broadcasts to 23 countries. Gibraltar is one of them.
From over the Bay of Gibraltar, BFBS Radio 2 is clearly received in Algeciras. In fact it is well received for many kilometres down the Spanish coastline.
Many of the programmes are relayed from the BBC network. It can be very bizarre to be driving to work, in Southern Spain listening to the Radio 4's Today programme with John Humphrys, or later the World At One, or PM with Eddie Mair (what a voice!)... much later they re-broadcast Radio 5 Live un-edited, complete with traffic reports on how the M25 is at a standstill or how the Telford by-pass is closed... while I am over 1,500 miles away trying to negotiate my way round Pedro and his donkey.
A few years ago on Sunday's they used to broadcast the omnibus edition of the Archers.
