Ran one for a long time on a 180 with M/H's in Va where we are blessed with the Heat plus Humidity (: I think the guy is still using the 40.00 dorm Box 10 yrs now. _________ Some of the world's greatest feats were accomplished by people not smart enough to know they were impossible (Doug Larson) http://i105.photobucket.com/albums/m...carrig/aat.gif
