[TowerTalk] RF resistance data

[Pete Soper]

Hi gang,

	Darrel AK6I pointed out foulups in my recent mail about
RF resistance. I was in a hurry and misread the wire sizes in 
Sams "Reference Data for Radio Engineers" (sixth edition). Here's a 
table of resistance values for copper wire based on the formula
on page 6-7.

Regards,
Pete
