OR - Here is where some very lossy coax could come in handy - Put a
half-watt 50-ohm resistor at the end of a loooong run of lossy coax.

Hal:

It may radiate, it may have a high swr on the cable feeding it... I
just needed to dump 250 watts quickly and didn't have enough time to
construct a "dummy load antenna" everyone is so anxious to speak of
here...

besides, unless you have a damn 50 ohm resistor across your coax--you
only think that 50 ohm antenna load is all resistive!

Warmest regards,
John

And what about ELI the ICE man ?
If you have a "L" then "E" leads "I", so I understand.
But suppose then you have another "L", and another, and another.
If "E" keeps leading "I" , then is "I" just slowing down for a cycle
at the
"L" ?
-- in udder words - I'd druther keep the dummy load resistive *****
I wonder if that resistance wire in the toaster would work as a dummy
load -
go ahead and try it - you can toast bread on the new dummy load.

Never mind, just dropped a so-239 on an old gallon can and wired it
up--seems to work great, but haven't checked the swr on the outside
of
the can yet... grin

I need to come up with a dummy load for a 250+ watt xmitter.

IF I take two 100 watt wire wound resistors in parallel (for 50
ohms)
and put them in a can full of silicone oil and feed it though an
L-Match should it work?

Warmest regards,
John
