No! It is the moving field due to the rotation that causes the problems. There are many references for this, e.g.
http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/iel5/6373/17053/00788348.pdf
quote:
"To a receiver of electromagnetic signals in the vicinity of a WT [wind turbine], the rotating blades act as a time varying multipath source. As a result of the scattering from the blades the total signals received are generally amplitude and phase (or frequency) modulated. The former being more dominant for slow moving WTs. These extraneous modulations of the desired signal, if sufficiently strong, can adversely affect the performance of an electromagnetic system."
