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.
