Dear Walter
I am very delighted with your pictures of the homemade
parabolic mic you made, and am intending to try to build one myself
to use in the woods next month. I have a few more questions on this
mic if you would not mind answering them. My first question will
probably sound very off the wall to you, but i was wondering if using
a large plastic salad bowl or similar desighn for a reflector? I was
also wondering what kind of foam you were refering to when you
metioned using it in your mic, and also would you fill in the whole
handle and T with this, besides in the cap with the mic, and just
leave the peice of PVC with the cutout holes empty of this foam? How
do you go about finding the focus point of the reflector to be?Should
i cement all the caps , including the mic cap? Also were the holes
already inthe pvc pipe or did you cut them yourself, if so what did
you use to do this so neatly? Would the part with the holes in it be
cemented to the T, or another way? And lastly, how would the mic be
mounted in the cap with foam?
Thanking you greatly:
John E Parks..
