[UK-CONTEST] Wind Farms and Radar

[Roger]

Ray and others

I went to a lecture a couple of years ago, in this country the 
requirements were that any proposed wind farm must not obstruct any 
point to point communications, or not part of any ancient monument, 
which as the lecturer implied, there is not many hill tops or high 
ground left where wind farms can be built. Locally here I have a large 
wind farm and it is slightly to the north west of us, so far I can 
detect no problems.

Hope it helps.

For what it is worth, my son works in that industry in the US.  There it 
is a requirement of the licence to construct a wind farm that there is 
full liason with the FAA.  The main problem is not so much the actual 
radars but the point-point SHF links between the various control 
centres.  Farms are not allowed to obstruct any of those point-point 
link paths.
