I wonder if a basis for this RADAR theory was suggested, or if it was
just a guess? It seems far fetched to me that an animal could detect
EM radiation, despite their recorded excellent ability to detect high
frequency sound. Airports also have big noisy planes with turbines
that operate in the high revolution range and make a lot of noise. I
think this would be a serious deterrent.
A quick search of a couple of Journal Databases reveals nothing on the
topic what-so-ever.

Hi Chatters.
It was recently
reported that a Bat researcher noticed that his
Bat Detector did not detect any bats around
Winnipeg Airport Manitoba, Canada. He decided
that it was the RADAR that was keeping them
away. Thus it seems that a small trial of an
angler's radar on the top of, or near a windfarm might keep the bats away?
