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.

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. -Adam On 8/14/2018 5:38 PM, Bill Prince wrote: Ken Hohoff was the guy with all the wind farm experience.

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?. Matt Corcoran Network Engineer Stratos Networks
