Great recording Rich. I spend a bit of time in the ozzie dessert, also doin=

controlled burning stuff. Its hard not to become a pyro doing that, which I

Loved the radio voice too.
I only missed a true centre. The wind does come bit more central it seems
then the wood burning. Could you tell a bit more about the setup?
