** As long as there are those who argue that standard AC circuit
analysis does not work for VHF parasitic suppressors, that
resistance-wire becomes less-resistive as frequency increases, that a
dipmeter can not be used to measure grid-resonance, that a suppressor can
not be evaluated with an impedance-admittance analyzer, exceedingly
little will change.

** Not quite. In December, 1996, just before Wes, N7WS, measured
various parasitic suppressors on the bench with a HP Model 4191A RF
Impedance Analyzer, the method was hailed as a benchmark by both sides of
the issue. Now that Eric has proposed an encore measurement, Mr. Rauch
says it's really and truly a bad idea because we need to be looking at
"the system". However, a Z-analyzer rather obviously can't be used to
evaluate a system since it evaluates individual lumps of R-C-L, so the
system arguement appears to be another ploy.
