Couple of more cheap mic tricks-you can make parabolic reflectors from all 
sorts of bowls . I got another trick from this strange investigator/agent 
type character( for Dave Trenkel-he was hanging in Henry's house in Eugene 
in'88 before H went in the military ,a spooky scene,) I never found out 
who 
he was working for -the household included both anarchist punkers and 
rascist skinheads a couple of the latter ended up in prison. The guy had 
made about 12 - 20 paper cones varying lengths up to  1' long and 1-2" dia 
large end.  These were attached to a disk or bowl with the mic in the 
center. Sitting indoors he could scan with this rig and pick up,and 
isolate 
individual conversations up and down the block.It was quite amazing .
