Anyone know where to buy or how to make resistors suitable for a T2FD or
other folded HF dipole designs?



I'm only aware of Ohmite, www.ohmite.com. Last I checked they were
out of values useable for a T2FD. I got an email from a sales rep
promising to try and get me some samples, but it's been 2 months,
so I am not hopeful anymore. Makes me wonder how those companies
survive; they advertise a sought-after one-of-a-kind product, and
then they are unable or unwilling to sell it...


If you were a large company interested in buying 100,000 resistors,
they'd be plenty happy to sell it -- and you'd get the samples, too.

That's how they survive. For sure, they don't survive by selling onsies
to hams.
