Roy,

The elephant cage is just one of many antenna's at the site. I have no idea
what else is going on out on the silver strand. The North end of the 
peninsula that forms the silver strand and the outer bank of the San Diego Bay, is a 
naval air station. It is called north Island as once upon a time it was an 
island. There were gaps in the silver stand sand bar. The gaps were filled in and 
a rail road, trolley line was built on the strand. You could ferry across the 
bay to Coronado Island. These islands were separated by a marsh. That marsh 
also has been filled in. Today there is a big tall bridge across the bay from 
the main land to the peninsula. The Navy Seals still storm the silver strand 
beach about once a month as part of their training exercises.

Roger.
