Holly,
How much time are you going to spend in the field,
week, month, year?
I work at 90's avg of humidity and for the first
couple hours of the day I go to 95-96. My only
solution is to use equipment that can handle humidity.
I'm not saying expensive equipment, just equipment
that is for field use.
I have used DATs (M1 and TCD-D8) and had no problem.
Mics is always my concern.
People in this group knows more about all these
problems and the best options for mics on humidity.
Good Luck on your research
Antonio Celis
