But Mike, now that everyone has changed the bad parts and added
nichrome the problems went away.
Despite the fact that the change in VHF Q is very minor, and
Measures original suppressors actually have higher Q when in
circuit than many conventional suppressors!
It'll take a long time before people eventually figure out when you
replace all the bad parts you usually fix the problem, because the
problem is virtually never a parasitic anyway.
