A couple of .0022 6KV or more, not the China Ebay crap, discs will do it for 10-160.

Ive never used the Russian hockey pucks but have heard other EU and Japanese versions are not so good on the higher frequencies as many were not made for QRO RF.

Maybe someone has a guideline on what the markings and applications are.

Paul,

Polyester film caps aren't that good, because generally, they have too much inductance, the dissipation factor is high so they cannot carry much RF current, and even a 0.1 microfarad ceramic disc with negligible internal inductance but a half inch lead each end will be resonant at about 3.5 MHz. Above there, it all looks like an increasing impedance with frequency.

Inductance and dissipation factor are the real problem.
