Actually, almost any antenna with a 5 dB attenuator would work. a 5 dB
pad would give you a return loss of -10dB, which is around 1.9:1 VSWR..

According to Cebik's models, the T2FD is down about 6 dB relative to a
dipole, worst case, so it would be almost the same.

All you need to do is build yourself a BIG 6dB attenuator that can
dissipate the power.
