Three, possibly all four, of the four 2G mobile operators are here, along with MM02 Airwave. (Sitefinder now doesn't, but used to, list Vodafone at this site)." Mevagissey was originally an IBA landlord site which entered service in August 1982 to serve about 1530 people. Channel 4 was available from the launch on 2-Nov-1982.

Neil White was nearby in September 2015. Unfortunately we can't confirm whether there's any change to the transmit and receive antenna configuration of the relay but it's clear a V-SAT dish has been added. Also there seems to have been a certain amount of "consolidation" of the mobile phone antennas with one level completely removed - reflecting the various mergers and infrastructure sharing agreements now in place
