Does it not seem a bit odd that Mr. Rauch did not use his Z analyzer to 
measure the intrinsic L of one of the aformentioned resistors, in order 
to support his statement?.

. Bird uses Dale (tm) MOF resistors in their terminations.  There appears 
to be no spiral on the  conductive film.. 

 .. and the price of a suppressor retrofit kit is $29.95 ... ... and 2.4W 
of grid P on Wednesday was 5W of grid P on Monday ... and VHF current 
doesn't flow through "coils" because reactance increases with frequency.  
Ohm's Law is out when it puts Rauchian decrees in doubt.  AC Circuit 
Analysis doesn't give 'EXACTLY correct' answers.  ......... On and on.
