Making moans and ratchets. Distant guy a little too loud. (Couldn't hear them?) No sounds during time "he" surfaced. Rose during moans. Long silence after diving. Poor recording - static. Went into yeeps, etc. Ratchets seem to be very variable, esp. in playback - may increase. Then the recording stopped. Notes: "Humpback Playbacks: Playback - BQR-3, Recieve [sic] - Bow Hydro in Chute.
