Slander is the communication of false information. .
. Info on Mr. Rauch is available in the grate parasitics debate archive
on Will, KN6DV''s Web site. If it is gone, I can send you a text file of
the debate via e-mail, however, it is large.
>For those of us new to the

See pages 71-4 of the Sept. 1994 *QST*. Mr. Rauch manages to include
himself (Ameritron) on his list of recognized amplifier "experts".
>or "rauch-schnauzer"?
A rauchschnauzer is a mythical breed of lap-dog.
. During Phase-I of the grate parasitics debate (which began on the
rec.radio.amateur.homebrew Newsgroup) , when Mr. Rauch refuted standard
AC Circuit Analysis, his supporters did not question him. When he
professed that gold has a second, lower melting point below 1063 deg. C,
ditto. When Mr. Rauch retroactively promoted an ex-Eimac employee from
Engineer-B to "R+D Engineering Manager", ditto. .

His theory is that one can build a vhf suppressor out of copper-wire that
equals the performance of a similar vhf suppressor that is built from
resistance-wire. This can indeed be done by increasing the L of the
suppressor-inductor (Ls in Wes' measurements), and by increasing the R of
the suppressor-resistor (Rs). However, the trade-off is exponentially
increased 28MHz dissipation in the suppressor-resistor. . The short
answer is that the use of resistance-wire in Ls allows the designer to
reduce the 28MHz dissipative burden in Rs while improving the vhf
performance of the suppressor. .

Information that does not wash will backfire on its originator.
