The VHF Q of the copper-wire suppressor could be decreased by increasing 
L-supp and R-supp.  The gotcha is increased dissipation in R-supp at 
29MHz.

€  Excellent point.  The Parallel equivalent resistance of the anode 
resonant circuit controls VHF gain.  Decreased VHF Q translates as less 
Rs which equals less VHF gain.  This is what parasitic suppression is all 
about.
