Hi Dobroide,
I'm glad my webpage was helpful. I listened to your 10 min recording
with the nice gusts of wind. Thanks for sharing.
I still use those same Tree Ears with the 183s, though not as often as
I would like since both my HiMD recorders died. Still have an old MD
that does the trick, but it's hard to step back from the digital transfer.
