Post it on a Web site so that everybody can have a look, Mr. Rauch.  .  . 
 I refused your offer because your statment about Miklos did not check 
out, and because even a computer-bozo like me knows how to use Adobe 
Pagemaker to create an authentic-looking Eimac document saying that 
Charles Thomas Rauch, Jun. is absolutely, positively, 100% technically 
correct in anything he utters, and that he is hereby recognized as an 
amplifier expert.

And if the ARRL had bothered to talk to the Personnel Dept. rep at 
Eimac/Varian's Salt Lake City plant, like I did, they would have been 
told that Mr. Joseph Miklos was not an "R+D Engineering Manager" during 
his period of employment there, and that he was an "Engineer-B".  .

I did not send Wes a suppressor.  I sent him some different alloys of 
nichrome resistance-wire, some Matsushita 100-ohm, <12nH, MOF resistors 
that would dissipate 12w for 1 hour, and a silver-soldering kit.  Wes 
built the resistance-wire suppressors. .  .   We do not sell suppressors. 
 We sell materials

According to Wes' data, at 200MHz, the Rp of the copper-wire suppressor 
was 169.5-ohms, and the Rp of the  resistance-wire suppressor was 
103.7-ohms.

It sorta looks like it doesn't fit Wes' measurements.

Is it honest to claim that 169-ohms is no different than 103-ohms?

Is it honest for you to stonewall your post of 28 November, 1996?
