Terry, You don't need a capacitor rated that high, as long as you don't make it much longer than 1/4 wave on 160. Ohm's Law is your friend, just use one of the formulas to calculate E from R and P. :-)

But being so cold and the possibility of messing of the operation of what I have now has kept me from trying a longer inv-L. That and not being sure exactly how much and how high of voltage a variable capacitor I would need. I do have some 500pF 10KV doorknob cap I can parallel a variable cap with. And now hearing I might need longer radials. An acres and a half only allows only about one 160 meter antenna at a time along with my other ones. _________________ Topband Reflector Archives - http://www.contesting.com/_topband
