Now you see it, now you don’t

For many years, an 80 foot dish antenna atop Pillar Point was a Coastside landmark.  Then it disappeared.  Recently a smaller new antenna was installed.  According to a staff member, by Christmas a dome will be covering the new antenna to protect it from the salt air.

This tracking station on Pillar Point is part of Vandenberg Air Force Base.
