Rs and Rp are mathematically related. If you have one, the other can be
derived. Wes measured Rp, the parallel equivalent of the series circuit
that the suppressor introduces into the anode-resonant circuit. (for a
discussion of Rp and Rs, see "Calculating Dissipation in Parasitic
Suppressor Resistors", March, 1989, *QST*).

The anode's VHF-resonant depends on the suppressor for Q reducing total
Q. It seems to me that system Q involves the tank. The VHF anode
resonance has nothing to do with the tank.
