The rotating blades of a horizontal axis wind turbine generator (WTG) can distort the video portion of a TV signal and thereby interfere with TV reception in the vicinity of the WTG. The nature of this interference is discussed and methods are described for calculating the approximate zone within which the interference is judged severe. All necessary information is provided for predicting the interference zones about MOD-0 and MOD-0A, and MOD-1 machines for any given TV transmitter using graphical procedures. The effects of any terrain inhomogeneity, irregularity, or adjacent structures are ignored.
