Spread throughout the vast area you still find old antennas or vestiges of it.
This however are no detritus rests which have been neglected left behind, but the successive types of transmission installations which the RTT, Belgacom and the MoD had used there since 1923. Part of the installation is Remotely Controlled from "Ostend Radio Communications Services".
