Hey there...
You guys are cracking me up.
Believe it or not, I have a heated cover for my data dish,
which is woven from some sort of teflon impregnated
material. I didn't bother to trace the connections on the
heater--I assume that after three years, it finally burnt
out and I'll have to spring for a new one. But that's
something to do in the spring or summer.
Best,
Tim Morge
