[NJARC] Antenna results

[Steve Boracchia]

Hi John,

How do I go about getting capacitors?  I did not see you at the last meeting 
and want to finish a project.  I do need an 8mf/450v electrolytic.  Can you 
let me know where I can get it?  I am also interested in getting several 
common types as well.

Thanks,

Steve Boracchia
