If you have any licensed PTP links they need to protect your pathways by not 
placing any turbines and blade swing radius in a way to block it. I have worked 
on some of these in the past and mapped licensed links as rectangles based on 
the two points and widest part of the Fresnel zone. Would be a good idea for 
you to do that and provide it to the developer. You could also provide your 
unlicensed PTP links but I don’t think you can get any protection for them.

 

Thank You,

Subject: Re: [AFMUG] Wind Farm Experiences

 





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.

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?.
