[wxqc] Detecting Heating Problems

[Michael Diehl]

     Seems logical, I use an " asymetrical U-shaped" fan aspirated  
housing that I home brewed; and to check for heating problems I  
increase the fan speed to see if the readings decrease which would  
mean that I was reading heat gain from the shield/housing.
