There seems to be three camps in this discussion..
Nychrome, no nychrome, and now neither.

Eliminate the parasitic; eliminate the suppressor.

\If eliminating the suppressor can :
( 1 )  produce less heating above 20Mhz
( 2 )  protect the tube and associated components

I believe a lot of us would like to know your better way.

Thanks

##  Nichrome is beyond useless.   It will diss as  much as 100 w on 10m in 
some cases.  It will   get really good and HOT on 10m.   You can light a cigar with it. 

##  perhaps paralleling a bunch of these  3-5 watt  MOX resistor's
would be the real ticket.   Then the total uh  would drop down by
1/2  or  1/3  or  1/4  if    2-3-4 x MOX's  were used.   Then no  comp cap would 
be required. 

##  Plan B.... use a metal tube like a GS35B,  YC-156 etc... and no 
suppressor  required. ... and no socket required either.
