 Hi Fred,
Generally, a gimmick cap is two wires twisted together.  Your mileage will 
certainly vary, but I seem to recall a rule of thumb suggesting 1 pF per inch.

 Mike, 160m antennas my favorite subject. I sure wish it would either get cold 
or dry out here... Winters here in Kentucky are so wet and I think it gets 
wetter every year. One thing I did read in that link was reference to a 
"gimmick cap"...not sure what that is?? 73 Fred KB4QZH
