A few ohms of ESR in the suppressor L has an unlittle effect on VHF Q and
on Rp, which is presumably why Mr. Rauch cancelled his post (11/28/96)
proposing that we do the calculations for a suppressor with 5 ohms of ESR
in the suppressor L, and compare results. According to Wes' tests, at
100MHz, a copper-wire suppressor increased Q 46% and increased Rp 65%
compared to an otherwise similar resistance-wire suppressor.
