Thanks! For the price, I cant go too wrong here. I had planned on 
testing them in the tank circuit, for really short bursts. I always 
can use my iced tea bottle caps as a fallback. After reading quite a 
bit, I was figguring on somwhere close to .008uf as well.

Hi,

For a 15/30 NST you want the capacitance to be around 0.008uF so your
5 x 2 string idea should be fine.  I have no idea how well these caps
will work but just try it and see.  15/30 NSTs go pretty easy on caps
so you might get them to work.  I think the voltage will be fine but
the current is the worry.  If they quickly get warm or hot you might
as well stop there.

Cheers,

         Terry
