This humble, somewhat dilapidated shelter, a few miles south of SFO airport, once housed a medium wave aviation beacon (NDB). It currently hosts a variety of aviation surveillance sensors. Its location is also waypoint on the way to SFO runway 28R.
This kind of infrastructure, integral to so much in the modern world, is often nearly invisible, yet also heroic.
@mattblaze@federate.social Hmm, I feel bad for whoever has to keep the electronics in there working… I can’t imagine sitting on a salty platform makes that easy.
