[WISPA] Tilting at Windmills
I've got a township in PA that is eager to have us expand to their area, which is typically quite hilly. They're asking me if we could mount on wind mills, which they are apparently already encouraging. Anyone have any experience with this? I can imagine problems (like vibration), but my imagination often runs wild... Thanks!

Re: [WISPA] Tilting at Windmills
if the blades are composite or fiberglass you may get through, but the receive jitter will probably drive the radio card nuts. If there is enough room under the blades to see what you want to see it should be great. A piece of foam on your board and lil rubber on antenna mounts should give you all the vibration dampening you will need. Don't forget to reground the antenna with a wire. There may be an unused tower too. Also over here there are standard 25g's scattered around to transmit the controller information.

Re: [WISPA] Tilting at Windmills
Because these aren't built yet, the image in my mind is for us to stick up above the blades...meaning the windmill tower itself would be higher than it normally would be, or we'd add an extension to make it so. Well, maybe that's an unrealistic daydream.

The wind turbines we have here in town are 300ft tall poles with 100ft blades. The center hub is only 20 feet below the top of the tower.
