I usually figure a couple dB blip per wind turbine, worst case is when they all line up worst case. Strangely they will affect the signal even when slightly off the path. If you have audible alignment you can hear the signal pulsing. If this path is already marginal on distance, I would be hesitant to say the wind turbines are not a problem. Short path + 1 turbine, no big deal. Long path + 3 turbines, may be an issue.

The 11 is centerline and the other two are maybe 50-100 feet off the centerline, per google maps I cant see that at those distances there would be much impact but wanted to make sure all my goats are pleasured before i move on. -- If you only see yourself as part of the team but you don't see your team as part of yourself you have already failed as part of the team.
