During the grate debate, Tom's faithful lapdogs attacked my 1/1994 QST 
article, The Nearly Perfect Amplifier and stated that a rheostat simply 
will not work for adjusting filament potential (sic).

ok

The resistance of all conductors increases as frequency increases.  As 
frequency increases, skin depth decreases, and conductivity decreases.  
This is why 10m tank inductors need more copper than 80m tank inductors.  
//  In Wes' measurements, the resistance of the nichrome inductor - with 
no parallel resistor - changes from 15-ohms at 10 MHz to 45-ohms at 
200MHz.  Rauch's assertion that nichrome is different than all other 
conductors is a laugher.

It undoubtedly is.

How do you know what all newcomers think?

cheers, Bill.
