Hi I need to building a 4 ohm 1500 watt "cantenna paint can style"
dummy load for audio and guitar amp work. I have forgotten what type
of oil to use for heat transfer.
Id like something easy to get (like peanut or something with a high
flashpoint).
Don't want to loose the house.


MFJ sells the correct "transformer oil" by the gallon for $30/gal, but the
manual for their version of the cantenna says you can use "mineral oil".
