http://groups.google.com/ Search for Oil For Cantenna or Oil For Dummy Load Mineral Oil works well for me. "Javier Henderson" wrote in message ... I got a Heathkit Cantenna recently, sans oil. Where do I find transformer oil? The few industrial suppliers in my area (Monterey, CA) want to sell me drums of the stuff. I only need a gallon... Is motor oil OK to use? 73, -jav w6vms |

Jav -- asked many times before -- for the answers go to Groups Google.com http://groups.google.com/ I don,t fully understand why motor oil should not be used in a dummy load! I need to make one so I can calibrate one of my instruments. I intend to use one of the uptodate gallon paint cans that has a PTFE liner and solder the lid on. Since we now have the means to use low wattage signals for tuning up purposes there is obviously no reason to store it in the shack . So what really is the problem with using available oil instead of emulating the aproach of industrial transformers or regurgitating old thoughts ?
