The article suggests that 24 270 ohm 2W carbon film resistors, wired into
four lines of six resistors in series, and then paralleled would produce a
final resistance value of 405 ohms, and would allow 300 watts on SSB.

Hope this adds to the discussion.

Hmmmm ...

Any suggestions for a method for dumping the heat from the resistors
back into the shack in the wintertime? :-)

And heck, during the winter, wouldn't it be nice to have the resistors
overall rating able to dissipate a KW and provide more heat?
