Recordist's notes
sound of a barrier fence, recorded with contact mics. every 10 sec a strange signal can be heard. it seems the nearby radar tower ist still in use. the 10sec period would fit the specs of an RRP117 radar system, see http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/RRP_117 (in german). (PCM D50, DIY contact mics)
