Dear James, many thanks for your considerations and the computations done on the configuration I proposed. They are much useful and appreciated, exactly up to the point, as usual ! I will try to do some experiments during the coming month of August, if the temperature and, more important, the percentage of humidity will allow me to do some work in the garden ! Just now, it is too hot and too damp to do anything...! 73 Alberto I2PHD
