Indeed.  I guess they skipped a paragraph in my article.

The suppressors are not resonant close to ten meters.  .

It would have.

€  si, correcto. 

>If not then add two or three turns. 

€  Psup increases as the square of the turns on Lsupp, so u gotta go 
easy.

€  Clever.  Safety wire is pretty close to the alloy in Nichrome 60.  
Odds are that this change alone decreased the parallel equivalent R of 
the suppressor by c. 40%.
