[Amps] Clipperton-L parasitic suppressors

[Rob Stampfli]

I am reminded of an exchange between Neils Bohr and a friend.  The
friend had just discovered a horseshoe nailed above Bohr's door and
asked why it was there.  "It's supposed to bring good luck", said Bohr.
"Surely you don't believe such rubbish," replied the friend.  "Of
course not," said Bohr, "but I understand it works whether you believe
it or not."

Frankly, everything I've read on the results of adding Rich Measure's
suppressor kits has been positive.  Without wading into the fray of
whether the theory behind them is sound or not, can anyone provide
direct evidence of their lack of efficacy?  Inquiring minds want to
know.

Another alternative is to order the little sub-board from Ameritron:

It seems to work, too.
