Arrgh! I thought we worked through all that math! Gain is directly
proportional to Rp. Rp is different from the R of the supressor
resistor. Did you not just read Ian's notes? Anyhow, if gain is
proportional to Rp doesn't it makes sense you want to lower it?
So that's why......

You cricizie the "hairpins." What difference does it make what kind of
inductor one uses? It still has inductance?
Please explain why lower Rp is not always good.
