Oops... it was pointed out to me off-list that the required cap is 4.7 "nf"... not the 4.7 "pf" I misread it as. I would expect 4.7 nf more commonly to be written as .0047 uf, but maybe it's an international thing.

If this is indeed the case, then a gimmick will obviously not work, as they are only good for very low values of capacitance.

Jess,
You may use any small 4.7 nF cap instead of the SMD if you solder it with
short legs.

I would send you a 4.7SMD by mail ofcourse, but I am afraid it will not be
at your location in time to finish the project before Xmas

Betreff: Need SMD capacitor for Moskita kit

I am working on a Moskita for a challenged ham friend. The 4.7 nF SMD capacitor is missing from the kit, and quite frankly, I would not mind having a spare. I am trying to get this done for the ham for Christmas. If any of you have any advise on where I can find this cap in the next few days, or if I can complete the kit and leave it off, I would appreciate the input. I will also call locally tomorrow and see if there is someone that stocks SMD, but I don't think I will find this at Rat Shack!
