I find it hard to believe that a 0.8v drop in screen potential is going
to make a significant difference in IMD. The 6146B screen regulation in
a TS-830S is about 10v drop under load, and it has the lowest IMD of
anything I have measured.

True enough, Steve, however, Jerry Springer has been lately beating Oprah
Winfrey in the TV ratings wars. // The Rich vs. Tom and his toadies
debate was undoubtedly a donnybrook. The denouement seemingly came when
one of our amplifier "experts" tried to retroactively promote an ex Eimac
Engineer-B pal to "R+D engineering manager" -- and got caught red-handed.
. Ironically, the grate debate could have been avoided had QST Editor
Mark Wilson taken my recommendation to have the ARRL lab measure the VHF
characteristics of a resistance-wire VHF parasitic suppressor vs. a
copper-wire VHF suppressor. Eventually, Wes, N7WS performed this
service for the amateur community. Congrats, Wes.
