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.
