	Just looked at this link and doubt very seriously that these capacitors
would be suitable for serious TC usage.  Their leads are just too small,
and with a dissipation factor of 1% max at 1 kHz, they may be quite
lossy.  I would expect severe overheating and eventual failure.  They
are specified as applicable to radar pulse modulator service, but that
can be much less severe than typical moderate power (1 kW +/-) TC
service at high frequencies.
