Hi Terry,
Sorry I was thinking of the wrong end there. But the current at the
plate end is even worse. Voltage would be 2 times dc voltage but the
current is very high. Need transmitting mica caps there or doorknob ceramic.

Hi Gary,
I wasn't paying attention to where that piece of mail was going.
It wasn't meant for the list. The caps in question are padders for the plate
tuning not loading. Johnson in it's infinite wisdom four 500v caps in
serise/parrell to make a 1kv unit which is still underrated. I figure 660v plate
voltage + 150w of rf @ 8v a watt 1200v rf + 600v of audio in am mode. Add it all up
and you get 2400v or four times the plate voltage on the final. So does that
seem good logic to you?
