A couple of weeks ago, while overflying a 'solar farm', I heard a strong signal, a sort of 'white noise' in my headphones. It was as if someone was strongly blowing on the mike, in my frequency. The intensity was so annoying, that I turned off my radio.
Another day, I flew again, low and slow, over the same 'solar farm', and again came the noise, very intense. It persisted for some time, even after leaving the area.
These doesn't happen with all solar farms. We have quite a number of them in our area, and it was the first time I got that interference. I believe it may have something to do with the conversion to high-voltage AC of the low-tension DC produced by the solar panels. Anyone here with a similar experience?
