again it's too long ago, so I can't remember, but I don't suppose so,
because it does'nt looks like the typically bad weather distortions,
and I remember as it happens earlier, there was a recording directly
before the broken one with absolutly no problems, and the afterwards
recording was broken from the first frame to the last with indentically
distortions. (weather problems in my case are allways fading stronger
and weaker...)
if you agree, if it happens next time, I can split 15 sec of the recording and
send it to you, to give you a impression of the nature of this distortions..
