The real estate could be used for many things besides a resort.
In the Caribbean, due to the limited amount of land -- land
costs will always be higher.

Not all resorts have to be on the beach, in Fiji many are not.

Caribbean Relay Co. has P.O. box in St. Johns, the capital.
Many QSL listings for the various services there at:

If a multinational company is interested, a higher price may
occur during the land sale.

From my memory the transmitter site was in the middle of the
island -
NOT a prime resort location. Maybe it could be used for a golf
course, but I'd think any resort would have to be on a beach.

Even modern shortwave transmitting stations are hard to sell
these
days. I've heard of one which recently sold for about the same
price that people are paying for large 4-bedroom houses in my
neighborhood or a modest flat in London or Paris.
