[sdiy] Resistor War !!!

[Scott Gravenhorst]

I used to play with RF as a kid.  I remember 
special wirewounds that were said to be 
noninductive.  I believe that half of the
wire was wound clockwise, the other half
was counterclockwise.  These were used in
RF circuits where the power was higher than
carbon resistors could manage.
