August 2004 UHF Contest (KB0THN/Rover and K0NY/Rover)  
Seeing the wind farm up close was really interesting. We were able to peak inside this wind generator because they were doing repairs on it. The scale of these machines is gigantic. The base is probably about 16 or 20 feet across. Even with massive blades generating hundreds of kilowatts of electricty the blades make less noise than the wind.
