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.



Can the inductive reactance be cancelled with capacitors? I'm mainly
concerned with 40, 30 and 20 meters.
