NOTES: LNS note: Same individual from LNS# 110882. 14Oct2003 SAS. Reel notes: "R130 Start 2150 end 2238. Humpback calls. 3 complete calls, level is low - ship noise rolls. 19 Feb 1972. Very poor. Not analyzed. Could get approx call is necessary." Tape Log: "SHL-1-14. 19 Feb 1972. time 2150. R-130, engines secured. Ship is rolling more. We have since moved up on the same animal as in reel 13 - we are in a position to be drifting down on the animal. We start off with animal's surfacing phase - signal level is poor, should get better later. Cable thumps (hydrophone) may be heard as ship rolls. Animal signal level still poor in mid-portion of reel. Second animal heard in distance. Snapping shrimp level is low, we must be off edge of bank. There are 3 complete calls on this reel, plus part of the 4th. Start of the 4th call is best, animal closest now. Not a good reel for CS copy. Reel ends at time 2237." SEAOCEAN.
