Hi OM,
Must've been before they were replaced with the AN/URC-32 (Collins). I
suppose there weren't enough bulbs to load 500W (much less from about
a dozen bays). All I remember where conventional dummy loads and the
time we used the shorting bar on the finals' capacitors and took out
the island's power station (forgot to throw the power switch off).
