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

I'm currently using a 330 ohm, 2 watt carbon one, but as such it only usable
for receiving. I'd like to find an assortment of values, 100W min,
preferably 150 to 200 watts, non-inductive.

Who sells such items, or is there a way to make them?


Thanks,
Pat

I would send you an email but I don't hold out any hope for
Send me an email. I have a bunch of 600 ohm, 50 watt, non-inductive resistors.
Two in parallel gives 300 ohms at 100 watts. Four in series-parallel gives
600 ohms at 200 watts, etc.

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...

Another option is Caddock. They make some noninductive power film
resistors - the ones in TO-247 cases, well heatsinked, might be a
decent way to build up the bird-foot-warmer for a T2FD.

Mouser carries some of the Caddock resistors. I'm almost certain that
Allied and Newark do, as well.

I do _not_ wish to receive unsolicited commercial email, and I will
boycott any company which has the gall to send me such ads!

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.

Surplus sales of Nebraska has a good selection but they are pricey.

I would think so, but I asked about several value/power combos,
and the rep found 0 stock in all warehouses. So even if I wanted
100,000 I'd have to wait for them to make me some... Seems odd. I
normally have no problem getting "onsies" either for free or a
nominal charge from other big manufacturers, if I can't find them
in retail. Oh, well.

www.mouser.com sell Caddock non inductive resistors. The 100 W are about $10
ea in onses.

What are the drawbacks to using std wire wound resistors if one
orients them in CW and CCW fashion?
Since they are in series the capacitance should be minimal
Art

I should have mentioned that these resistors come in transistor packages,
and need to be heat sinked. The Mouser catalog shows dissipation curves. For
instance, at 100 C, the resistor is good for about 1/2 of the rated Wattage.
