From the Wikipedia article
The Brecon VHF FM transmitting station in Powys, Wales was originally built by the BBC in 1965 as a relay for VHF FM radio. It consists of a pair of 15 m wooden telegraph poles - one carrying the transmitting antennas, and the other carrying receiving aerials pointed at Wenvoe transmitting station near Cardiff. These stand on land at Pencrug Farm, about 244 m above sea level. The station does not radiate television, and never did. TV for the area comes from a different site at Brecon transmitting station a few km to the east.
