About the new Wind Farm in Atl City

O

ontheair247

I've heard about the new windfarm just built and still being completed, located at the ACUA water treatment facility just outside Atlantic City.
Experience tells me thats where the transmitting tower is for a number of stations such as WAYV, etc,. WMID is nearby, across the highway, WWAC-TV's former analog tv transmitter was also there and some low power FM's are also there.

I've also heard a claim that such windmills can cause interference to signal propogation, at laest there was a claim that they could disrupt analog tv reception.

So my question is, with the turbines practically surrounding the tower that WAYV-FM and others use, is there any noticable effect on wave propagation from this new wind farm?

To view a picture of what I'm questioning about go to http://www.njwind.com/project.html

3/4's of the way to the right on the picture you'll see the tower surrounded by windmills I'm wondering about.

There's also a webcam on that website.
 
A study funded by Millennium Radio Group concluded
that there won't be any problems with the FM's,
and the AM may exhibit a slight directional pattern.
All of the previous problems have bascically
been on DISTANT TV reception, not transmission.
