Hi,
	I have two of those capacitors.  They work great.  I get 37"
 to a ground rod with 15kv 60ma at 120bps.  6" secondary 20 
gawg. 3/8" copper tubing primary with RQG and one cap.

Running at 12kv 250ma they start to get warm and I let them 
cool after 10 minutes of run time.  I have had mine for 2 years 
and they haven't failed.

Sometime this Christmas I am going to run them at higher 
voltages.  If all goes well or they die I will report it to the list.
