There was another such station in Aspropyrgos Beach, near Elefsis, callsign SXE2, which used a proper tower. The installation was used regularly to announce arrivals of passenger ships to the port until February 1999. Then it was replaced with VHF comms on channel 7, where the Coast Guard has a repeater.
