[Elecraft] OT Wullenweber Array

[Fred Jensen]

There used to be an elephant cage at Skaggs Is., northeast of the top of 
San Pablo Bay in the N. SF Bay area.  It's gone now.  There was also one 
at Clark AB in the Philippines in the mid-60's.  Don't know what 
happened to it, but if it lasted after the US left Vietnam, it likely 
succumbed to Mt. Pinatubo.  I don't think these things had a lot of 
gain, but they were broadband (most ELINT stuff is), and could feed 
multiple rx simultaneously.  Broadband and gain in the same sentence is 
an oxymoron ... witness log-periodic arrays.
