[Boatanchors] CAA modulation indicator question...

[Richard Knoppow]

    An interesting site. It also mentions the airways beacon system. 
Some of these beacons were still in operation when we first came to Los 
Angeles about 1949. One on a building on Wilshire Bl and another on "Bee 
Rock" in Griffith part. There were probably others still working. I 
think the name Bee Rock comes from its resemblance to a bee hive. I've 
been up there many times and there is no slightest indication that there 
was ever anything there.
