We gotta start somewhere!   I've done the same thing.  I got my baffle from=

 I took apart one of my Shure MX391/O mics to use for it.  Curiously, the c=
apusle says 183 O  on it.  SCORE!=0D

 It seems to work pretty well.  I did some distance testing with it today u=
sing a bluetooth speaker.  I walked about 100ft away from the speaker and p=
layed a recording i made with the dish (red-bellied woodpecker) yesterday. =
 Off axis, it could barely be heard, but was quite loud when pointed at the=
 speaker.    I'm pleased.=0D

 Now i just need to do some tests to see what the baffle does to the audio,=
 tonally.  But i havent researched how to do that yet. =0D
