[QUOTE="user 4386, post: 647090, member: 4386"] It is not actually a report of the effects of any existing windfarms though. If you read it through in detail (painful) it says it is either negligible or easily mitigated in the case of this planned windfarm- it is a report examining whether such things could occur. It mostly relates to slight interference with other radiation such as a TV station with signals so weak that people in the area already had difficulty receiving it (instead they used a station with a stronger signal). Some of the issues related to physical blocking out of signals by the propellers, not to EMI. Such thorough environmental assessments are required before any windfarms can be authorised. Slight interferences do occur (worse under high voltage powerlines though, as we have always known)., Electromagnetic radiation decays exponentially with distance from its source, so most people who worry about being zapped by damaging radiation should worry more about the electrical wiring in the wall behind their bed head (actually they should not worry about that either as it is non-ionizing radiation). Radiation from the sun can be more of a problem and even blow up transformers. However there are interferences that can occur close to such wind turbines as with any other electrical turbine, and they potentially can interfere with other very weak signals. But I cant imagine it affecting detecting as I have described. [/QUOTE]
