Be careful Rich,  those LLC-caps have pretty large threads!
You first think it is the ideal coupling-cap but it explodes pretty soon.
The last station I warned was DJ2HZ, he used for bypassing the anode
choke.
He was very lucky last year in December not to loose his shack or more
when the capacitor turned into flames...
