Hi Gary: 

Thanks for thinking of this. Fortunately, I've had TeslaMap around to 
guide me on this, and designed my MMC tank cap with two taps; one for 
static and one for SRSG.  There was a nice discussion on the list (maybe 
more than one) about the reasons for the larger cap size needed for the 
SRSG (for me about 7.4 nF for static and 10.1 nF for SRSG).  I am trying 
to be careful to keep all of the parts in working order after the first 
trials. 

Thanks again for the great list

Chris
