Can I use wirewound resistors to build an HF attenuator?

I need to lose about 5 dB from a 15 Watt exciter. Thanks.
Simple answer is no.
While you can build one with wirewound resistors , the normal formulars will
not usually work at RF and you will have a lot of inductance to deal with.
Even the socalled non-inductive resistors are only so at the audio
frequencies.
