Hi Mat, That's an extremely nice offer. I am not exactly handy with a soldering iron but I can solder. I would love to go to one of your ATM meetings and take a look. Many thanks, Joe ________________________________ From: "Hutchings, Mat" <mat.hutchings@siemens.com> To: Utah Astronomy <utah-astronomy@mailman.xmission.com> Sent: Friday, March 8, 2013 1:41 PM Subject: [Utah-astronomy] Dew Heaters (was Another Global Warming Genius) Joe, (and everyone else who is affected by dew) now that I have been using my homemade dew heaters, dew and frost are non-issues.  You are invited to attend any ATM session and check it out.  If you are handy with a soldering iron, you can make one from plans that I have.  I can even put a kit together so you don't have to source the parts.  If soldering is not your thing, I'm sure we can work out a deal for me to make one for you.  Of course you can also buy a commercial dew heater, but mine are less expensive and most importantly, can be tailored to your needs (number of outputs, total power output, etc.). Just too bad that the dew heaters don't do anything to warm up our bodies.  Patrick and his heated flight suit can help with that.

Joe, I would like to see more of your postings on this list once again. Reading yours and some of the others' sky watching adventures allows me to live vicariously through your writings. Haha.

I can no longer help with that. I donated them to the Hill AFB museum. BTW, I never really did get them working all that well. They were designed for 28VDC so the 12 coming from my car didn't do much. Plus I could not find modern versions of the connections between the suit and hat, the sleeves and gloves and the legs and socks. That they were all XXLarge didn't help. :) patrick
