I assume your new Telinga is the parabolic setup? If so, there is a special=
windscreen available from Telinga that covers the face of the dish, and is=
very, very effective. You might also try some sonically transparent
material that covers the face of the dish - just a big cloth placed over
the front of the dish and attached to the parabola somehow. Also you might=
be aware of the direction of the wind against the dish - the wind's effects=
are worst when it is across the face, rather than against the back or front=
of the dish.
