Is there any particular reason people use resistors rather than Nichrome wire? I thread soem nichrome into some heatshrink tubing, run 4 strands attached to switches such that I have 4 settings. Works great on my 14" run inside the end lip just in front of the corrector plate. With a simple foam dew shield I get complete protection on nights of 90%+ Humidity and freezing temperatures.

Cheers
