Well, I have no problem with the theory behind stiffening caps. They
do work, but the crux of the issue is to what extent they work in the
original example (1 farad, dx1600, SSB)

If you were listening to the above example you would not be able to
tell if the set up was capped or not.


Do it yourself. Rig up a box-o-caps through a switch. Then have someone do some
talking with and without the caps. I think you will notice a difference, even if
you are just running barefoot.

Frank, you are asking me to participate in something illegal.

Maybe you should retract your suggestion. After all, you
wouldn't want to spoil your reputation.
