What is a Roche Dish?
I got the stereo micropone mounted on my old parabola and gave it
a spin in my backyard. The wind was high, the traffic was horrible so
I had to turn down the gain somewhat, but the results were

If I use it in the house I hear the refrigerator, my wifes caged
birds, etc.
Here are the results on my web page:
