I've come across articles and postings concerning the install of antennas on windmills quite a few times in the past but never gave it a moment's attention since it wasn't, at the time, of any relevance to me. However, looking at it they are just a big pole shoved up from the ground about 100 feet or so, why not? I'm permitted to weld brackets onto the thing as long as it passes the manufacturers okay. The top of the generator housing would be the best as far as location but it rotates and I'd have no wired pathway to the bottom. (Rotating sectors? A good use of the "ANY" SSID possibly The blades being stationary at times worries me by blocking the sectors if installed high up and if I had to install lower then it wouldn't make much sense to even use the thing. The generator housing does have an option to use power supplied from inside of it but I'd need to work those details out and if it works I wouldn't be able to access the AP directly from the bottom, as far as I can tell, and there are NO climbing pegs! Yikes!

We have TONS of them around hear and I often thought about how that would be done. I am also really interested in seeing how wireless can be utilized with wind-farms. Best of luck.

How in the heck do you install on these things? On the top of the generator housing? Nuts. Only logical thing for me is on the supporting structure under the rotating housing using sectors. Yes? Then what about blocking of the RF by the blades or worse, a no wind condition and the blades are stationary in front of a sector? Anyone???
