[Remi rf is seated across from her friend Robbin rob. there is a lot of static coming from RF's mike and xmtr. it may be a partially broken antenna. after 5 min. RF had not said a word. due to static. anything said to her, was not picked up. at this point I switched mikes and, xmtrs. and antennae with RF, but incredibly the, problem persisted. the problem may have been microphone, displacement instead of broken antenna. this situation, was only 1 minutes long due to switching of mikes etc. however getting anything from RF and rob. was impossible, due to equip. malfunction and the fact that they, had next to nothing to say. I considered transcribing, my channel but rejected the idea for these reasons. 1 I was outside the class+room picking up sounds all, over the room and hallway too. 2 the voices sound so, much alike, it would be very difficult to pick out one, became noise and I couldn't make much sense of what, was being said. 4 since I wasn't concentrating on, others. I couldn't provide any supplementary, information as context., RF is with three or four other girls] and if you xxx.
