Default Homebrew traps

Some one sent me an email and said these will do the job. Ceramic capacitor
disk 10KV/1000pF. Do you think these would work?

This is my first attempt at making traps and I do not fully understand how
they work. I am willing to learn as this is what makes the hobby great but I
cannot find enough step by step info to lead me in the right direction.


Thanks

What sort of capacitors can I use in parallel in making some 7MHz and

I've had good luck with door-knob caps.
