The plate swing probably will be slightly less than the DC voltage, 
for a reasonable efficiency amplifier. Otherwise it will be even less 
and the amp will be underloaded. So figure that the voltage goes from 
0.2 to 1.8 x the DC or something like that, at the plate. The experts 
here probably know the correct figure. Then on the other side of the 
blocker, you only have the RF swing without the DC component. So the 
cap passes the RF through, and blocks the DC, right?
