A 1000pf is fine for those frequencies and nothing will get thru the Nichrome Nibbler and the last cap.

Thanks for the advice.  I'll wind a 50uH choke and use a 10-ohm 50-watt
glitch, each end bypassed with .0047 caps (idea gleaned from an earlier
topic), and perhaps an added 500pF bypass doorknob between glitch and choke
(unless those bypass values could be optimized for 10-20m also?).  I have
some ceramic/steatite standoffs that could serve as a choke form.
