I have given that info out here many times. Hopefully this will be the
last.

I use two 5W non-inductive (almost anyway) metal oxides for the R. The L
is a 2.5" x .25" x  .004" strap of Mu-Metal wound in a 1/2 turn loop on
the outside. 
 
 My experience of 572B's is

Not really that hard to tame with the proper materials.

The old Hunter Bandit 2000A used 4 in the same case. Stable as a rock
with the old Globar resistors.

BTW, you ever get any more feedback on the folded monopole?  I'm still
totally confused. Some who commented on Topband said the ground R also
goes up 4x and others with impressive credentials privately told me that
only holds true without a radial system ....ground rod only. 
Bottom line...if the signal improves forget the experts...just enjoy it!
