[Milsurplus] When Caps Ain't Caps

Thanks to all for the suggestions.
Shame to have to admit that, after all these years fiddling with 
this,
I had such an obvious gap in my knowledge about capacitors.
That a 150 pFd 1kV NP0 in an oscillator wasn't the same
animal when you put it on the output of an RF stage
just didn't occur to my rock head.
Guess that solves the mystery of why some projects
just would not work.
Think I'll pay attention to the "RF, Low-Loss" capacitor catagory 
now.
