David,

In Dale's first post on this topic, he made it quite clear that it was the IMPEDANCE over the range of 100 kHz to 10 MHz that mattered, which quite clearly is virtually all inductance. Further, by noting that frequency range, it is also clear that rise time is the issue. Further, I saw nothing in his posts that have emphasized resistance, they have used the word impedance.

Perhaps some hams don't think about wires as having inductance (or wavelength), but I'm sure that Dale does. :)
