Clive,

I'm not saying that it's always better on the ground, but I discovered the=

ground effect when my stereo rig on a tripod kept blowing over. Tripods are=

for singers and close musical instruments etc. and what is minimised is a
ground echo with a few feet difference which sets up a "comb filter"
response, but the ground rule (pun intended) as ever is to experiment and
listen.

Is the "backsplash" any worse than the "frontsplash" of the rain itself?
