Just letting you know your Charlotte TDWR radar is not striking a water tower @ 340 Degrees, it appears to be striking the elementary school or high school or both. They also have an eye cancer cluster in the area.

ChemE Stewart,
“Thank you for taking the time to send your message to us. After I received your email, I checked with one of our Electronic Technicians about your concerns with the FAA’s Terminal Doppler Weather Radar (TDWR) at Charlotte, NC (TCLT). I learned that the TCLT TDWR transmission is not blocked by a water tower, as previous information indicated, but the transmitter is intentionally inoperative at the 338 degree radial, for elevation slices below 2.5 degrees, to eliminate microwave interference with a communication tower. Therefore, the TDWR is not collecting data along the 338 degree radial over Long Creek Elementary School for the 0.2, 0.6, and 1.0 elevation scans. “
Sincerely,
Meteorologist
