[Elecraft] AW: Need SMD capacitor for Moskita kit

[Larry Phipps]

Oops... it was pointed out to me off-list that the required cap is 4.7 
"nf"... not the 4.7 "pf" I misread it as. I would expect 4.7 nf more 
commonly to be written as .0047 uf, but maybe it's an international thing.

If this is indeed the case, then a gimmick will obviously not work, as 
they are only good for very low values of capacitance.
