Good morning ALL.

Songster
Didn't plan to disappear on you guys last night, but the sleet & ice collecting on the face of the dish finally killed the signal; not the 1st time it's happened.
I had a stroke of genius this morning. I figured I'd have to go out in the sleet & rain to throw warm water on the dish, which is on a 4-5' post, close to the back of the house. I noticed it was also not far from the kitchen window, so I extended the spray tube in the faucet as far as it would go, waited for the water to warm up, & cleared enough ice off the dish to ge a signal, & here I am.
I'm so brilliant sometimes that I scare myself
Truly amazing.

Brooder Lights
LEDs and CFLs are better for light (less electric cost)
Ceramic emitters. They last longer and if they break, they don't get glass all over. 25-250 watt. I use 150s.
