Modern wireless station situated on the summit of Windyheads Hill.

The station has been built over the remains of part of the adjoining World War II GEE station (NJ86SE 27.00), destroying one of the Transmitter/Receiving Blocks (Tx/Rx).

The station consists on a main block, mast, observation post, small car park and a building to house the temperature gauge.
