I'd get one of those misting thingies they sell in the plant departments
of
the building supply stores, mount the business end in the duct well
upstream
from the rad.  They put out a fog as opposed to a spray and as a result
will
cool both the air and the fins at the same time.  I'm sure figuring out a
little pump would be a piece of cake, just use a windshield washer system
from
the boneyard.  The mister will actually keep the water consumption down...
I
know that it takes a fixed amount of water evaporating to provide a given
amount of cooling, but I think that with both the air and the fins being
cooled that kind of thing would provide a double whammy (as opposed to a
blood
of water from a sprayer).  Just some random thoughts from someone who
hasn't
had anywhere near enough sleep in the last 24 hours <G>

You've got to stop that partying all night, Marv {:>).  Bad for your
complextion and pocket book.
