Hi Darren, That's a good direction you are taking the discussion with that question. I can't talk about the same type of challenges as Udo because since I first heard about Reveil in 2019 I only stream occasionally couple of times per year and with a temporary set-up with a recorder, a laptop and a hotspot created by my iphone. So I'm always there and this is not really a full-time streaming solution. This fits my preferences better and I generally feel more involved if I am there and can listen while recording or streaming. It comes with some other drawbacks and challenges. The main drawback is that I will always affect the surroundings by my presence but I feel I am getting better at not interfering as a week ago (when I was testing a new set-up for Reveil) I was surrounded at one moment by at least 4 or 5 mice running around in leaves taking care of their business and not bothered by me sitting about a meter away from them. A challenge was that I had to get up at 3 AM and drive to the nature reserve and walk into a pitch dark forest - more of a thing to fight in my own head. Also, that's a bit of a self-imposed challenge caused by me picking this location for the stream. Since I was with my laptop, it was a bit of an issue when it started to rain. The Blimp with my mic can take a bit of rain but the laptop not that much. And I had to make sure not to keep my phone too close to the recorder as the interference could be heard even though I was convinced the gear is properly shielded. Those are all things worth considering when streaming in this way. Tomasz

hi Darren,
I am curious to hear more about the physical and environmental
challenges that contributors faced and what solutions were made in the moment. A lot of discussion on the list is devoted to the technical side of doing the streams (for good reason) but what about those aspects?
I have hidden my box in a wooden fence in a Berlin inner city forest. Last night evil mice were gnawing on the cable and trying to break into the box, during the day, nasty birds discovered the microphones and were plucking fake fur from the wind screen, probably for their nests. ;-) Udo
