Thanks Dave & Neil,

I knew that they were trying to pull the wool over our eyes but didn't
know by how much! Maybe I'm prejudiced as I was once near a small 
(~1.5kW?) wind generator which disintegrated in a gale when the 
feathering failed & it deposited a 6ft. blade almost at my feet and 
another blade went through a roof several hundred feet away!
I forget to mention that whilst (apparently) not a problem at HF (& 
VHF?)there are certainly concerns regarding the effects of wind turbines 
at UHF & above on Air Traffic radars.
