    @mattblaze@federate.social Love the picture and explanation! Found a couple of these in Portugal a few days ago and was wondering what this type of antenna was for.

      @nicoheijningen@infosec.exchange nice find! I’m not sure what that site is. I’m guessing the transmitter or receivers are in the complex across the road. My guess is Coast Guard.

        @nicoheijningen@infosec.exchange Ah, apparently Portuguese Air Force (according to the signs visible on street view).

          @mattblaze@federate.social ah cool! The structures across the road looked quite abandoned, but the antennas well maintained.

          Could be NATO’s Broadcast and Ship to Shore (BRASS) or its sucessor BRASS Enhancement One Target Architecture (BRE1TA):
