I just learned that a 2 MW solar farm is being built about 3/4 mi from my QTH. I dont know who is behind it, though I ssume its a utility company of some sort as 2 MW sounds moderately large. Does an

It's in the early stages of construction. There's a bit of a hill between it and my location and I'm not sure how far away it truly is. I don't even know whose it is at this point. But there's a fair

Overall system engineering also matters -- how the cables are run, are they in steel conduit, if not in conduit are they twisted pair, are the current loops tightly closed, etc. Higher voltage, lower

Drove by a couple of solar farms on my way to Grand Forks, ND while still in Minnesota.  I wonder who gets to clear the snow off the panels in the winter.  This can't be effective in Minnesota. -- Or

Youd be surprised: a fair bit of light still gets through. Im speculating, but it might be worth using some of the power for melting off the snow. Kim N5OP "People that make music together cannot be

Chuck, A few years back, the solar farms placed in schools, colleges and businesses had MASSIVE failures when hit with the snow load here in New Jersey.  They all got rebuilf, but all required lots o

Hopefully not as bad as the 2.3 MS Siemens wind turbines in New Zealand. ZL6QH had to abandon a huge antenna farm because of RFI. Their noise floor went up 50 dB on 80, and only a few of the planned

It probably is true, Jim. The EU has limits that apply in more circumstances than in the US. For example, below 30 MHz, the only US limits are that which are conducted onto the AC mains. There are no
