If one visits Oahu the opportunity to see another one does exist (probably
easier to talk the XYL into a trip to HAWAII). I did some work with the US
Army on Oahu a few years back and did see the installation from a distance.
Its located in the NE corner of grid BL01xm, or -158.01135W, 21.52228N. I used
this map site to get the location info:

I would love to have one of the giant DF antennas! Wow! Makes a Four Square
(or even a W0UN-style Nine Circle) array look anemic.
The James Bamford book on NSA "Body of Secrets" has many references to Elephant
Cage rx arrays.
Here's a great picture of ANFLR-9 array:
