Take a look at http://www.chrisowens.co.uk/Windshield.htm for a write up
of the windshield I made for my Telinga.

> Hello again,
> Things are finally taking shape, I have built a homemade
> parabolic mic using a 21" Telinga Dish and a ECM T-145 mic. With this
> i am planning on using an MZ-R30 minidisc recorder which i purchased
> from E-bay. I wasn't to delighted when i received the MZ-R30, first
> problem I found was that the rechargable LIP-12(h) was dead as could
> be, then i found that the recorder would not charge the said battery,
> another option was to use regular AA battries, but i did not receive
> a battery case that would snap onto the sie of the recorder and none
> of this stuff could be purchased here in Canada. Therefore i had a
> recorder that was not portable. I have since gotten around this
> problem where as my son made me up some external power packs from 2
> AA battries , 2 wires were soldered to the 2 contacts on the side of
> the recorder where the battery case wuld go, and to wires were
> solderd to the batteries, bullet clips were joined in the middle of
> this for easy battery change. So now i have my recorder portable.
> Last night i built the homemade parabolic and tested outside, i came
> across a couple small problems. First i was getting what sounded like
> feed back, I was thinking that this was because of where my recorder
> was only about 2 feet from my dish, so I added a ten foot extension
> to move further from the dish. This has gotten rid of the feedback
> sound but now I am getting a different sound which is hard to
> explain, it is like hiss or low hum, i was calling it the sound of
> silence, I am not sure. I was recording in Mono/Manual Recording with
> my rec level nearly max, I was wondering if it has anything to do
> with my recording level, i read some where that between 5 and 6 was a
> good setting for this recorder. Could someone please tell me what
> would be a good level. One last small thing, what would be something
> that i could used to cover my Telinga dish for wind protection and
> what could i use for a small mic which i have (that is very very
> sensative) for wind protection, I have no time to order anything for
> these because I am heading out on my first recording trip tommorrow
> and will be gone for up to three weeks?
