Here are a few snippets from today's field test of the ParaJeck.
First a minute or so with little happening directly in front of the
reflector

Next a sample with more normal activity in the reflector's line of
sight (including a distant fishing boat in need of an exhaust silencer).

A light aircraft flies directly overhead from left to right but the
reflector continues to pick up the sounds of the distant birds

Now an aircraft flies over from behind the reflector to in front of
the reflector and somewhat to the right

Finally the geese arrive home at 4:38 pm - 8 minutes late!

A minidisc recorder was used, mic sensitivity high and recording
volume set to 15. I think this was too low - maybe 17 or 18 would
have been better.
I'm reasonably pleased with today's performance. However I think a
better way to use this system is as a normal point and shoot
microphone giveing a wide stage stereo background to the main subject
of the recording. Today the ParaJeck was used as a barrier type rig -
no attempt was made to pick out recording subjects.
