Re: [WISPA] Tilting at Windmills
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.

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.
