[Elecraft] Decoupling circuit -- why is it like it is?

[George, W5YR]

Also, different capacities are obtained by different construction,
materials, chemistry, etc. So, different values and types of caps are most
effective at different frequency ranges. It is common practice to use
several different sizes and types of caps in parallel for general bypassing
and decoupling.
