Why is that impossible?
On HF the resistor is almost shorted out by the inductor.
The power absorbed will be less then 0.5% of the desired HF with a typical
amp.

### .5% of 1500w = 7.5 watts CCS..which is a bunch. Forget the HF power absorbed
by the resistor. The poor resistor is already being cooked by the thermal heat from
the hot anode anyway ! I noticed the 10 x 1 meg 2 watt CARBON HV multiplier
resistor's on one of my old B+ supplies from the 70's had all risen in value by
34% ! And that 34% rise was only after 3 yrs. I recently checked carbons that
I bought new, back in the 70's..still in their wrapper.. and most of em are way on the
high side..and were never used.
## Ok... how does one install the cap that's used to negate the XL of the MOX
resistor ? Do u wire the cap in series with the resistor.. then parallel the entire
mess with the coil ? . The Drake L4B uses wide cu strap.... no 12 ga wire used.
## I used one, real small globar in my hb 3-500z amps from the 70's. The GS35-B
doesn't require a suppressor on 6m. The YC-156 doesn't require a suppressor an any band,
and neither does the 3CX-3000A7 or 3CX-6000A7.
## to reduce the plate load Z on the upper bands of a HF amp.. I typ install a
.6 uh coil [ 1/4" -3/8" tubing] between plate block caps and input to tune cap. This
does not appear to promote instability.

REPLY:
Not absorb "any" of the desired HF power?
That is impossible and Carl should know better than to make such a
statement
