Single Pocket. You can warp in at range.
Broadcast Tower Group is a mixed Fleet with 3 time based reinforcement spawns every 2 minutes). Time based spawns happen quickly. All ships will drop Gallente Navy Tags but be forewarned, negative standing hits incurred for Aggro / Ship Kill. Expect EWAR from Elite Frigates and Elite Cruisers. Probably a good idea to get help from friends before attacking this group. The cruisers sensor damp very heavily - if you plan on taking out all NPCs, kill the cruisers first and keep them out of sensor damp range (> 80km should keep you safe). -2.4% Gallente Federation standing loss if comm array is destroyed. This prevents the waves from spawning but is not required to complete mission. The Gallente standings hit if you kill all waves is minimal (much less than if you destroy the comm array to avoid reinforcements -0.02% Combat - Ship kill (x3) and -0.0% Combat -Aggression (x1))
Timed spawns (inaccurate info):
- Initial there are 12 Frigs and 4 Cruisers
- There are 6 waves, spawning 2-5 minutes apart (therefore it takes approx 30min for all enemy NPCs to appear)
- Wave 1: 4 Frigs and 2 Cruisers
- Wave 2: 3 Frigs and 2 Cruisers
- Wave 3: 5 Frigs, 5 Cruisers and 3 BS
- Wave 4: 5 Frigs, 5 Cruisers and 4 BS
- Wave 5: 5 BS
- Wave 6: 1 Cruiser and 1 BS

Blitz: Warp in, ignore (DO NOT SHOOT) Broadcast Tower Group and quickly maneuver ship into range to destroy frigates by Federation Navy Shipyard. No need to destroy the Broadcast Tower. Container can't be Hacked with defenders present, so you need to kill this group. Can MUST be hacked AND looted in order to complete mission. Buying 1x FedNav F.O.F. Identifier Tag AC-106V:FNSBR from the market or contracts won't complete the mission.
