Scotts Bluff National Monument in Nebraska is well worth a visit. It is one of the major landmarks for people who were traveling west on the Oregon, Mormon, and California trails in the mid-1800’s. Aaron tours you around the monument and also shares what its like. He also presents bonus materials on the Rebecca Winters Memorial Park gravesite, a fascinating piece of history.

Aaron compares the Sony ICD-UX560 audio performance vs a Canon G20, Zoom H5, iPhone, and using a lavaliere in a bunch of combinations. The Sony ICD-UX560 mini-recorder is quite resistant to audible plosives from breath and wind. It’s not completely invincible to outdoor breeze but it does well. The Zoom H5 picks up every plosive. It’s more sensitive but it’s a different class of recorder.
Aaron tests in a regular office/room (without sound treatment) and also above a beach bluff for a real-world test.
At the beach, he tests regular, focused, and wide mic modes.
There was a weird subtle digital garble at 13:37:10. I’ve never heard it before. We’ll pass it as a one-off.
