Back in the 70s when I used to help a buddy in his CB shop on weekends, 
this was a commonly requested mod by CBers who'd come dragging in a 
newly-found Johnson whiteface.   My buddy liked the $25 of pure profit  
to just jump or clip out dropping resistor.  But it rubbed me the wrong 
way, so I volunteered to do the mod one time,  and just relocated the 
resistor to a different point in the same circuit!   The dopey CBer's 
good buddies said he "put in a lot more pounds" afterward -  some kind 
of placebo effect I guess.
