[Amps] Defibrillator/discharge caps for smoothing

[wb8jkr@juno.com]

  They are in parallel in a FWB circuit powering an
8877,  the supply delivers 3300 volts at 1 amp.
I use two series connected 25 ohm 50 watt glitch
resistors in the output line to the amp, but have
never had a flash over. The 60 ufd is a lot of "C"
but the dynamic regulation during SSB operation is
absolutely suburb.
