We wrap up season 4 with two field reports for you.

We start with our friend Jesse Ulibarri, who got some neat audio from NARAM 60, as well as his “man on the scene” review.  We thank him for that effort!

Gheem recorded his trip to the former “Bob Evans Farm” in southern Ohio, where he witnessed the Level 1 certification of our listener “Captain Kirk” as well as Gheem’s former student who went for his Level 2 certification.

Enjoy!
