We've been on a wind tower for a few years. We're 20' below the tip of the blades.....just for the climber's sanity.  You can imagine how unnerving it must be to get close to that blade.

I'm not aware of any particular problems with being there.

I don't know how the turbine would affect ptp.  I think ken Hohoff said you could hear a warble in the audible alignment of FSK Canopy, but it didn't seem to impair service.  That's obviously a different beast from anything we're using today.

Ken Hohoff was the guy with all the wind farm experience. Haven't seen or heard from him in a while...

What are your experiences providing service in the vicinity of Wind farms?    Source of Problems?  Opportunity? I am currently checking to see if it will interfere with any of our ptp links.   I’m unsure if reflections off these big monopoles will cause any problems.   Naturally, tall hills are an asset to the wind farms and Wisps alike.  Has anyone ever used a wind turbine monopole as a transmit location?.
