Re: Microwave Caps

I simply asked a question about Microwave caps (see article subject).  I 
also just added in a question about the VDG, since everyone on this group 
has built one.  I see alot of other garbage that should be deleted from 
this group, that has much less relevance than VDG's.

[ A: See my addition to Ed Phillips' note.
  B: Not everyone has built a Van De Graaff generator
  C: You are entitled to your opinion.  IMHO, Most everything on the list
     has been relevant to getting a tesla coil project going.  Depending
     on the size and complexity of the project, there are all kinds of things
     such as transformers, oscilloscopes, plumbing fixtures, drain pipes,
     packing tape, etc. that go into making a coil.  Therefore, I feel that
     they are relevant.
  D: I'm sorry if I stepped on your toes.
