Question Possible VLF antennas near former Clark Air Force base Philippines

I was driving back to Manila a couple of weeks ago and was struck by what appears to be a large array of antennas near what was the US Clark Air Force base.
The antennas appear to be more substantial than those I have seen in pictures of Exmouth and other stations. Some of the antennas appear to be doubled up
I would love to have taken a picture but was on a freeway and couldn't stop
Since returning I have tried to find it on maps and Google without luck and it is driving me mad (only a short drive I am told)

Does it looks like as on the photo of the website?

Was it near the entrance of what is now the airport or closer to the Clark Free Zone as one heads to Angeles?

The antennas were of at least 2 different heights, the taller ones being double
I can't be sure of the exact location, it was to the west of the expressway in the direction of Clark

It could be,I need to keep searching Google Earth and may see if I can detour when I am back in January
A landmark would be useful or an indication as to which stretch of the highway towards Clark . I'll be there in a few weeks and would really like to have a look. Very intriguing.

That would be great
I just got an email from the guy who was driving and he said it was located in the Province of Tarlac.
Between The Town of Concepcion & Tarlac City on the right travelling the expressway of SCTEX going south towards Manila
I had thought we were on the NLEX, but I still cannot find it

Thanks for the update. From your initial description I was under the impression that the site was in the Clark Free Zone area in Pampanga.
