[TenTec] Wet ladderline

[Steve Hunt]

The water I used was collected rain water; I also tried tap water at one 
stage, but results between the two were indistinguishable. The line is 
still set up waiting for some heavy rain - I'm interested to see what 
happens *during* rainfall.

Ice and snow will have to wait a while :)
