Anemometer masts ...

Just wondering if the mil system marks up where windfarm anemometer masts are located on your low-flying charts or notam boards.

I increasingly see these very difficult to see skinny grey 299ft high masts (with guy wires) up and down the west coast of Scotland. Not on notams, not on charts and not lit.

Whenever I see one I pop it into the GPS, but they can disappear as quickly as they appear ... which focuses the mind the next time you fly over ... and can't see it.

They tend to be on ridge sites that are being investigated as future windfarm sites (although once the windfarm is up, they do tend to stay - probably to measure actual winds).

So, do you get notice of them or just keep an even warier lookout ?
