... and you did not publish the results because_____________?
- It seems fairly obvious to me that you did not measure the *VHF*
characteristics of a resistance-wire suppressor prior to your post of 28
November, 1996.

A 40% advantage is "magic"? Nah. It's just a better mousetrap, not one
which threatens mice with extinction. The only species that R-wire
suppressors seem to threaten with extinction are self-recognized
'experts'.
