D***ed, it takes only a few seconds before the whole darn capacitor gets 
really hot from those lossy terminals. Iron and steel have very high RF 
losses, and heat up quickly.That is the biggest reason why you DONT use iron 
in a TC circuit..."

	I'm sure others will have the same comment but I'm positive your
problem is NOT loss in the terminals but rather in the ceramic dielectric.
