Good point, Hank. My guess is that most of the manufacturers have
engineers with limited educations. . For instance, all of the
Ameritron/MFJ amps use a HV ''bypass'' cap that has 88-ohms of Xc at
1.8MHz (1000pF). What kind of a bypass is 88-ohms of Xc? During a
debate with Ameritron/MFJ's head engineer, it became apparent that he did
not understand algebraic or scientific notation.

IT COULD BE THAT MFJ IS A BIT LIKE THE EARLY HEATHKIT COMPANY(circa
1950's)......HEY WE HAVE A TON OF THESE SURPLUS CAPS, THEY "LOOK" ABOUT
RIGHT, LETS USE THESE! HANK
