**  Not quite.  A person on this group who professed that AC 
circuit-analysis does not apply to VHF R/L suppressors [reference 
available on request], subsequently mentioned that he had not taken a 
course in AC circuit-analysis.   The same person said that Ni-Cr alloys 
have less RF resistance as frequency increases.  Do you believe this, 
Colin?

**  My position is that AC circuit-analysis is valid today, was valid 
before I was born, and will be valid long after I am outta here.
