[Amps] DC Blocking Capacitor

[Phil Clements]

I'm old, but not that old, Peter, but I think you speak of suseptance, or
the ability to pass current. In an ideal capacitor with no heat losses it is
the reciprocal of reactance. This has been called several things over the
years; suseptance, admittance, and conductance; measured in siemens or
sometimes mhos.

Cheers,

Back in the 'good ole days' of AM, I seem to remember that you never went  
above 1000pF, even at 160, because it bypassed the audio signal applied to
the  
plate for modulation.
 
I happen to have a 1200pF, 10kV, 10kVA rated capacitor set aside for my
next 
amplifier: it came with the right price tag (nothing!).
