Hi list,
         I was hoping I could get some advice on what kind of cap I should 
use. I have a MOT 4 stack, and a small 3.5 inch coil (for the time being). 
I'm shooting for about 50nf, if that sounds right. I made one bucket cap at 
9nf and I thought there might be an easier way than making five more, and i 
dont have the money to build an MMC. The other idea that came to mind was a 
plate cap using paraffin wax, or something easy like that. But i just cant 
seem to get the right numbers calculated on the program I use, and if I do, 
they dont look reasonable. I'm still new at this so any help would be 
great. Thanks all.
        Dan E.
