[UK-CONTEST] Wind Turbines

[Ken Eastty]

The UK CAA Directorate of Airspace Policy published CAP 764
Policy and Guidelines on Wind Turbines which states that "wind turbines 
do not emit RF interference" (?), there's a lot more in the document 
about the effects on radar etc. and it seems that there is some on going 
work regarding the use of radar absorbent materials on wind turbines.
The whole document is at:
http://www.caa.co.uk/docs/33/Cap764.pdf
You have to register to gain access to the site but anyone can do this.
I wonder what the effects on digital TV signals might be?
