EAS Mast activation

Welshfarmer — Fri, 30 Oct 2026 13:49:53 GMT

Hi, we have 2 new EAS masts in our area, the one has been live now for a few years but the other is still not active despite all work appearing to have been completed at least 12 months ago. Is there anyway of finding out when it will become active? some people say it was active but only for a very short time though I myself never noticed this. The site reference as far as I can tell is EAS0502. Thanks.

Go-live dates for new sites are never announced in advance.

Out of interest, where is this site? Guessing somewhere in rural Wales judging by your username.

The site is near Cwmyoy on top of the opposite hill. There has been an airwave mast there for many years and it was upgraded last year to ESN/EAS according to the planning application, just seems to be a long time since anything has happened.
