A careful search using Google's overhead imaging and Street View seems
to reveal what USED to be an array - just the piers, maybe - just south
of the graveyard on Big Coppitt Key, near 4th and Avenue D. The image
could be higher resolution...
A mile north of US 1 would be out in the middle of the Gulf, I think...
Waltz Key Basin and Turkey Basin
There's an airstrip on Lower Sugarloaf Key; maybe you saw the lights on
the hangars or something? Those are in a rough N/S line.
Of course, I can just barely make out the WFFG array (R Marti shows up
well, though); Interesting that the license data in the FCC's online
data shows a two-tower array, but there's four towers in the air. But
the FFG array is SOUTH of US1, so.. Dunno. (BTW - the FFG array looks
better from the Street View...)
