[hpsdr] Re Munin low output on 6m

[John]

What is the best way to install the four new 
capacitors that replace C25 C26 C27?

Is it better to stack one on top of another or 
try to stagger them across the existing pads?
Or maybe stagger the one stacked on top so that 
it makes contact with two of the bottom capacitors?

Best regards,

John,  WoGN
