yes, just like i said before - "for good rf cap".

what? have you even try to calculate the numbers? i see that you don`t :-P
so go (for example) here:
http://hot-streamer.com/TeslaCoils/MMCInfo/942C.pdf

"ESR - Maximum value measured at 25?C, 100 KHz"
at 100 khz (2 * PI * F *C)=0,0942
DF~0.0005 for PP, so ESR=0,0053 ohm
what did you say - "This doesn't sound right"? :-P

the question is not in "our frequencies", but in value of current!
it`s seems that no one here can explain it simply and clearly to me, so -
ok, just forget it :-)
