Source: Matrix(~60%/~40%) of (1)CA-11s(ORTF) > STC-9000(+10db) > DR-07 and (2)Sony ECM-MS957(120) > JB3 > WAV(24bit/48-96khz) > Audacity1.3.11b(peaks reduced, amplified to -.01db, dithered, resampled, HPF, mixed*) > WAV(16bit/44.1khz) > CD Wave Editor(tracked) > FLAC8(TLH)

Location: 50 yard line, ~13' ROC, ~8.5' high

Notes: The mics are facing the wrong way until 3:48 because I was still preparing my equipment.  The missing part at the beginning is less than 5 minutes.  Wind reduced at several points in the recording by using high pass filter in audacity at 100Hz and at 6db rolloff.  The wind isn't too intrusive but it is there.  * - The matrix was mixed by speeding up the ECM-MS957 source by .00288678751296417307975278995% and adding +3db to the CA-11s source to get the mix I wanted. The first 3:02 are only the CA-11s source and the ECM-MS957 enters at that point.
