Lots of things work Alek, there are enough poorly designed amps on the
market that prove that.
I prefer to attack the problem; and not the symptom and lose a few hundred
watts on 10M to heat.
It also goes back to basics. Why do only a handful of untrained ham
hobbiests fall for the voodo while engineers from all corners of the planet
condemn it?? What commercial amp uses voodo suppressors? What tube
manufacturer champions them?
Measures was banned from this reflector for his stand and obvious completely
wrong theories.
Im not going to get in a long winded discourse on this, the feelings on here
run deep and Ive no desire to start it anew. Anything you might want is in
the archives going back to the 90's when I first joined. You will find a
long list of respected engineers represented.
