Although very expensive, someone once suggested using teflon coated wire 
for quad elements.  The objective was to minimize icing and snow 
buildup.  Seemed like a reasonable idea, and I wonder if anyone has ever 
tried it?
Incidentally, the lowest price I was able to find for #12 Teflon coated 
wire was $350/500 ft.
