€  Wes' (N7WS) measurements with a HP Z-analyzer indicate this 
characteristic.  .  There is no conductor that exhibits an increase in 
resistance as frequency decreases.

€  True enough.  The chortlish statement is in the September, 1994 QST 
under Technical Topics.  .  You can also read it in the Rebuttal on my 
Web site.  If that's not good enough, I can mail you a xerox copy if you 
like.  


cheers, Bill
