I designed an acoustic monitoring system for NASA, for measuring sound
levels around their Mississippi Test Facility, where they tested the
moon rocket engines. It was claimed that my electronics was
oscillating at low frerquencies. After some research, it was
determined to be subsonic mating calls of bull alligators, which may
have been previously unknown.

We used a temperature-controlled GR electret microphone, new
technology at the time. I dumped it into a jfet follower with no gate
resistor, which was controversial.
