Malcolm and anyone else having similar data:

I would be interested in seeing the measurements, especially if you
have enough information recorded to determine resistance as a function
of frequency, braid type, and current density.  I would expect that the
last variable would have a minimal effect, but it would be nice to
confirm that a signal generator could be used to obtain useful data.
Braid may not be too good of a conductor, but a frequency-variable
resistor may reduce losses in filtering circuits.
