pretty much.  Unfortunately, Wes made no measurement of the copper 
L-supp, so a direct comparison of the inductors is not in the cards.

At 50MHz, the Q ratio between Ni-Cr alloy and Cu appears to be around 1 
to 5.5.  I suspect that the VHF unQ is slightly enhanced because the 
Ni-Cr  is slightly magnetic.  Adding R-supp makes the Q ratio smaller.
