Sure. The use of nichrome wire in VHF parasitic suppressors is controversial. A
very good
explanation of VHF stability in vacuum tube amplifiers which argues *against*
the use of
nichrome wire can be found at <http://w8ji.com/vhf_stability.htm>.
If you want to see the opposite side, look at Rich measures' site,
<http://www.somis.org/>. He also will sell you a kit including wire and the
appropriate
solder and flux to make a nichrome suppressor.
Personally, I think that although many of Measures' ideas are useful -- I like
his fast
t/r switching circuit -- he is wrong about the nichrome and W8JI is right.
That wasn't bad, was it?
