[BC] Collins 20V Reactor

[Gary Glaenzer]

ah

thank you for explaining it to this clueless person

if it is not too much to ask, do you have a figure for the dielectric
constant of the typical telephone book page ?  I would like to write it down
so that I can calculate how many pages to tear out in case the negative
reactance is too great
