US Forest Service Pacific Northwest DS- David Shaw Research Scientist at Crane MC- Mark Creighton (crane operator) CC- Chuck Cambell, assistant 00:02 LD- Hi it's Leo DelAguila and Elizabeth Arnold on assignment. 00:14 EA- I think this is our first 00:15 LD- Exactly 00:22 LD- Anyway, so we are outside of Portland. Elizabeth is driving. You won't believe what you are driving. You know what, I'm not going to put it on tape. Suffice to say that Darth Vader would be very proud of us. It looks like an empire vehicle. I'm just testing this. It's Saturday June 11 of 2005. It is Radex assignment, recorded in Stereo. I'm talking right now into two microphones. They are Senheisers, MKH series. The one that I'm talking to, on the left channel is the MKH 40, and the right channel is 30, it is MS undecoded recording technique. The mics then go into a sono-sax SXM 2 pre-amp. I have everything set up pretty much flat, oh no, I have the low frequency cut on, probably we'll be in a sort of urban park. So that's what's going on from there. From there I'm going into a Sony D8 Dat man recording at 48K and then I am monitoring using a Sony MDR75 06 headphones. We will start recording eventually but I'm just, like I said, testing, so¿Bye. (2:56) Background noise, walking on gravel 02:57 DS- In 94 we came out here, after three years on the Olympic Peninsula where we were trying to put it up , quote un quote ¿logging wars¿. 03:16 EA- Oh you were trying to do the crane out there. 03:17 RM- They got tarred and feathered and run out of town. 3:20 EA- Well look at 'em now out there, they're doin' just fine. 3:26 DS Yeah they kinda, a lot of people.. 3:29 RM Yeah XXX loves having em here, it's a big economic thing. 3:40 EA- Oh is it really? 3:37 DS- Well they closed this nursery and they've shut down the forest service so we're actually something that's positive and has potential for future development in terms of education and that kind of thing. 4:04 DS- So this is the Thornton T. Munger research natural area. 4:14 LD- Ok so why don't you give us your names and social security numbers (laughing) 4:21 DS- My name is David Shaw. I'm a research scientist at the Wind River Canopy Crane Research Facility and a University of Washington Employee. 4:33 RM- I'm Rick Meinzer, I'm with the US Forest service Pacific Northwest Research Station. 4:38 EA- Hi. (laughing) 4:48 EA- So you were just telling me, Where are we? 4:49 DS- So this is the Thornton T. Munger Research Natural Area. It's part of the Wind River Experimental Forest managed by the Pacific North west research station of the US forest service and we're in the Gifford Pinchot National forest. The research natural area is a little less than 1200 acre old growth forest that was set aside for research and study purposes back in the 1930's. There's a lot of long term data that has come from this forest and it's a very important place. And the Wind River Canopy crane was established here over 1994-95 and it's been operating about ten years in one area of this research natural area. 5:38 EA- Why was this spot chosen, do...
