Road Trip – Iowa AWEA Distributed Wind Energy Conference
Business partner, Frank Marlowe and I hit the road last week to visit with broadcast engineering professionals at the Chicago Radio Show and discuss AM radio / wind turbine interference and the latest theory in mitigation techniques.
Following our Chicago meetings, we drove to DesMoines to see what was happening at the AWEA Distributed Wind Conference. On our way through Illinois, we passed by the Council Bluffs wind farm.
