Hi Steve, 
I am shunt feeding my 80 ft tower with a stack on top. I first tried air 
variables and the loading changed with power. I went to vacuum variables and 
all is well. 500pf @ 7.5kV. 73 Price W0RI

 My top-loaded vertical needs a series 260pF capacitor at the feedpoint to
match the 53 + j335 impedance (1.825 MHz) to my coax feed.

I have a few different air-variables I could use, but I was wondering what
sort of fixed capacitors would be suitable in this application.

Max power is 1500w.  I have doorknob caps but they don't have current
ratings marked on them.

 

Thanks,

Steve KK7UV
