[ARC5] BC-348

[Whitebear1122]

Thanks Joe and all for the clarification.  Yes I mean the postage stamp paper caps in particular.  I misspoke by calling them mica caps.  I owned a Micamolds XTR-1 transmitter at one time and several of the Micamold postage stamp capacitors were actually leaking droplets of oil.  I didn’t realize that those Micamolds had such a terrible reputation.  73, Scott WA9WFA

Micamolds are square .01 caps that look like mica caps but are actually paper. I replace them all because in my experience, the Micamolds are either shorted or about to short out.
