I was hiking near the top of Black Mt the other day.  It's high and
has line of sight to much of the Bay area so I wasn't surprised to
see that there are lots of antennas up there.

There were also two large (~15 ft square) panels that I assume are
reflectors.  One points roughly north, the other south.

Anybody know what they are reflecting and to where?

The weird thing about them is that they are not back to back, but more
like front to front with a big offset.  It might be a double bounce,
but that seems very strange.  I couldn't see that they were pointing
anyplace interesting.
