I ran across this a couple years ago. Is it some sort of weather station?

It appears to be a navigation aid for aircraft call a VOR. Maybe military. If someone has a sectional map for this area they could tell you for sure.

It is indeed a VOR station.

Or possibly a mind-control transmitter. Better get out the tin-foil just in case...

It might be the following weather station...

Coordinates are close.

But I think stickle is on the money

If you look at the following chart I believe it is the Fellows VOR

Following is a list of VOR locations and it is also listed there...

A lot of VOR's have a larger base than this one however, the following picture is a VOR that looks similar to the sat view in your post.

Oops here is the picture I meant to show you...

Yep. That explains it. It's in a rather remote location.

The antenna array down in Imperial Beach is a Wullenweber array. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wullenweber
