Hello to all
  How much inductance should I look for in a 160 meter split-stator capacitor?  
This capacitor is for the tank or antenna side of link antenna tuner.  I 
believe the math says a total of about 180pf should work.  I am thinking if I 
added more capacitance for insurance this would be better.
  Question.  In the handbook they show a split-stator capacitor for a link 
antenna tuner that has 200pf per section/side.  They place each side of this 
capacitor in parallel for 160 meters.  
  Is this to much overkill in capacitance, 400pf?
  What amount of capacitance should I really be looking at for above 
split-stator capacitor for comfortable 160 meter operation?  I will place each 
side of this split-stator capacitor in parallel for 160 meters.
  73,
