If the VHF current path through Lsup encounters a different anount of
inductance than the VHF current through the through Rsup path encounters
(and the magnetic fields from the two current paths are not coupled)
two anode-circuit resonances are created. The effect is like tuning an
IF transformer for wider bandwidth -- i.e., the primary of the IF
transformer is tuned to a different frequency than the secondary is tuned
to. The result is increased bandwidth/lower-Q.
