Former NSG facility equipped with a Circularly Disposed Antenna Array (CDAA). Former high frequency direction finding and communications facility was a.k.a. Wullenweber radar. NSG ceased worldwide operations in 1993 and most facilities were dismantled and removed during 2000-2005. Some installations were taken over by NSA/Echelon but not this one. Currently this facility is used by the AE (Spanish navy) and EDA (air force) as a fixed navigation beacon.
