Default simple(?) question...

What do you do for resistors if you can't get carbon composition in the
ratings you need? I built a MFJ-1020A out of surplus and scrap before
realizing that the metal film resistors I was using had inductive reactance
when used in an RF circuit. My local parts depot mostly just has metal film
resistors, not the carbon composition devices I need. Seems I heard
somewhere that there is such a thing as non-inductive metal film, but if
there is, how do I find it? Otherwise, where can I get carbon composition
resistors these days?

Any help would be appreciated. My home-built active antenna (for shortwave)
puts out such a terrible signal it is virtually useless.

Thanks,

Dave (an RF newbie)
