Not sure if this Wind Turbine is small enough or cheap enough for
you but 12V 20A $490:

Yes, that's exactly the kind of thing I had in mind. Especially
since the non-metallic blades only have a 3' diameter. Stick a good
deep discharge battery in a box with the charge controller and it
should be able to power a nice Routerboard arrangement, maybe with
some Ethernet radios on the side. The fun will be mounting
everything on the pole. Questions like who gets the top, the antenna
or the windmill? (Probably the turbine, so it can move with the wind.)
