Hi Michael, =0D

 Thanks for the response.=0D

 I have to confess that I've never even participated on a soundwalk, much l=
ess conducted one. I live in Las Vegas and don't know of anyone who makes n=
ature recordings here. I suspect I'm the only one.=0D

 Anyway, you're right. A complicated setup would put a damper on the experi=
ence. Though the technology may be complex, if the rig is fast, efficient a=
nd more or less seamless to the participates, then what's the harm. To my t=
hinking, it's like asking an astronomer to hold a star gazing party but not=
 let anyone look into the telescope. Maybe someone out there has built a si=
mple rig using a Raspberry Pi and programmed it to only function as an audi=
o streaming device. A Google search found a British company has a product c=
alled "LimeOnAir" that might do this sort of thing, but I can't find out mu=
ch about, nor do I know if it's sold in the U.S.=0D

 Please don't take this as a snarky comment, but I carry this little quote =
by Shunryu Suzuki that I got from the website for the documentary "In Pursu=
it of Silence."=0D

 "In the beginners mind there are many possibilities, but in the expert's m=
ind there are few."=0D
