[TowerTalk] QCoils Answered

[Michael Tope]

Yeah, in all seriousness, I discovered a few claims about 
nickel-phosphorus that seem to contradict information in a reference I 
had used in previous work. Seems that there is more to the story than I 
had imagined. Good stuff.

I am also relieved that this new source of inductors is selling 
something that likely works as advertised.
