Actually Peter, if you look at the suppressor Wes tested it was
identical to the AL80B suppressor except one was nichrome and
one was regular tinned copper wire.
There was no great difference between them at VHF, but at HF the
nichrome had much lower Q (as would be expected).
If you take the suppressor design Rich sells, a hairpin, it actually
has higher VHF Q than the stock suppressor, when they are
installed in the anode system.
