[Elecraft] 200 Hz 5-pole filter

[Phil Wheeler]

Somehow what I like on the air, how it sounds, is 
of more interest to me that what's in an xls file, 
Bob. So I'm in accord with "In any case, far too 
many people are far too concerned about the 
Sherwood rankings."

The data is interesting, but not of primary 
interest -- to me.
