Thank you for posting this Kevin,
I agree with Mark that it delivers a nice sense of space combined with
good localization of individual callers. I think I detect a slight
"hole-in-the-middle" effect, but it's not profound. Overall, an
excellent example of what Jeklin rigs can do. Come to think of it, if
I recall correctly, two of the most impressive nature recordings I've
ever heard were captured with Jeklin-type variants (john and Rob,
please correct me if I'm remembering this wrong)...
1) John Hartog's June 2005 clip "An early morning chorus along
Murderers Creek," located about 2/3 down his Sound Journal page:

2) A goose fly-by captured by Rob Danielson last April along the St.
Croix river in Northwestern Wisconsin. You can hear it about one
minute into the audio clip near the bottom of this write-up on the
2010 Midwest Nature Recordists Campout:

The recent talk here about Jeklin rigs has me pondering how one could
deal with three practical concerns that have kept me from going very
far down that road: ruggedness, compactness and wind protection.
