 I am not horribly experienced, only really focusing my interests in the past couple of months. But like any other hobby/pastime.... dare I say obsession?

You take out of it exactly what you take into it.

Keep an open heart and mind, but not so open you loose either of them.

Keep notes and documentation of everything. Audio, visual, a journal book. Helps to spot trends and a handy review of something that may not have sprung to your conscious the first time out.

And of course, exposure and practice. I remember when a lad, a friend of mine would spin the dial on his Ham radio rig and pick out garbled voices as if they were clear as day. He said the trick was to just develop your ear. So keep at it - and with intent to review logs of recordings in concordance with the statement above. ;>

I really, honestly do not expect to find anything of value the first time I decide to take my modded Rad Shack digital tuner out back behind the woods and field. What may come, comes. Either way, it's going to be recorded. :D
