Indeed. I guess they skipped a paragraph in my article.

The suppressors are not resonant close to ten meters. .

? si, correcto.
>If not then add two or three turns.
? Psup increases as the square of the turns on Lsupp, so u gotta go
easy.

? Clever. Safety wire is pretty close to the alloy in Nichrome 60.
Odds are that this change alone decreased the parallel equivalent R of
the suppressor by c. 40%.
