I have been using my Shure183s in a 21" Telinga dish - and I
Like it. The only other mic I have tried in the dish is a Sony
ECM-MS907, and the 183s are a great improvement over that.
For stereo effect I separated them with a 2" disc of tin. I figured
they should be mounted close together as possible, and the top
to a soup can was the thinnest rigid material I found around the
house. I posted a snippet a while ago that I recorded with this
setup.

If anyone can share their ideas for mounting stereo183s in a
dish, that would be great.
So far, my favorite way to use the 183s is tree mounted. Using a
consumer minidisc - how light can you get. I used them this way
last weekend. The spot I wanted to record was a four mile hike in
and the trail was in bad shape, but the heaviest thing I was
hauling was my waterlogged boots. All you really need for this
method is a strap to hold them to a tree. I made windscreens by
stitching fake fur to wire-mesh kitchen strainers.
