The only person who has made the connection between "Rule" and "Q of 12"
is Mr. Rauch. Eimac recommends a Q of 10 to 15. A Q of12 is in the
semi-middle.
IMO, the issue is not harmonic suppression.
- The lower the Q, the lower the matching range of a tank.
A specious comparison may serve to fool some of the people some of the
time.
