Former radio facility, known as Rugby Radio Station, used for transmitting the 60-hz time signal MSF (call sign; not an abbreviation), commonwealth messages, and submarine communications to vessel when shallow submerged. It operated from 1 January 1926 until April 2007. The station once had twelve 250-metre-tall guyed masts insulated against ground, which dwindled to four masts in 2004. The last four were demolished on 2 August 2007 after the broadcast site moved to the Anthorn site.
