Haven't ordered any samples yet but plan to do so in the near future. Never 
have had a problem with any dipped silver mica at 185k with these currents 
levels - at least so far. They always run as cool as a cucumber. This outfit 
has 2000 in stock so no need to rush to the site. I'm planning to layout a 
pcb of my final that Far Radio can duplicate for low $$ and make it 
available as a kit to the group, including three of these caps, and a 
ferrite core for the step-down transformer.
