Unknown antenna

Bingo!!

I think Iain has he answer.   That sure is consistent with the stuff on 
the mast in the picture.  Several heights looks like a radiator on one 
side and a measurement detector on the other side.    They are probably 
doing measurements of the transmission through air of several 
wavelengths of light.  From that deduce the amount of dust or whatever 
at various heights above ground.

The single devices are probably for some sort of calibration.

That Saharan red dust is important problem for some at USDA.  See 
Wikipedia at

Thanks to Iain for the solution to a vexing tacos question.
