Hopefully not as bad as the 2.3 MS Siemens wind turbines in New Zealand.
ZL6QH had to abandon a huge antenna farm because of RFI. Their noise
floor went up 50 dB on 80, and only a few of the planned turbines were
in operation. While not quite the same, solar and wind power systems
both use high frequency switching converters capable of generating lots
of RFI.

I just learned that a 2 MW solar farm is being built about 3/4 mi from my QTH. I don’t
know who is behind it, though I ssume it’s a utility company of some sort as 2 MW
sounds moderately large. Does anyone have any experience with these? How much of an RFI
source are they?
