Station is also listed as "Les Trembles transmitter" as Les Trembles is the French name of

There are at least 2 further guyed radio masts insulated against ground on the transmitter site.

A further radio station in Algeria with very tall masts ( presumeably > 300 metres) is situated at Berkaoui near Ouargla ( http://www.elahcene.co.uk/algeria/berkaoui.htm ).
However I cannot post it until I do not know their exact height.
