Stupid wind farm coming...

They are going to construct a 77-count wind turbine farm BETWEEN us and ALL our local tv station towers. This will be around 14-15 miles away. ALL my towers are in an arc, North-East to South from 35-55 miles. There's NO WAY I can aim past these turbines when built, I'll be aiming right through the middle of this monstrosity. That's likely going to cause all sorts of issues with my OTA tv reception. They've been fighting this out for years and finally got approval to build it, because some of the local government people OWN the land they'll build these on...

I would think there could be some significant multipath problems if the metal towers lined up in certain patterns relative to the signal path from transmitter to user. Not sure how you'd ever overcome that. Thankfully, I think all the blades are made out of composites or that would really mess with the signals!!
