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. :)
