bird dummy load construction..
 

well looking at a Bird 500w continious load, and it appears to me to be a
horizontal ali tube..with lots of cooling fins prssed on..is this tube oil
filled? if so pressure release valve???

asking as i want to make a load that out preforms my heathkit cantenna..(in
load capability) and am wondering if i can make a copy...

Bird or equivalents can be bought very reasonably :) even the 500W. Save the
trouble and buy one :) Not much use after 1296Mhz though :(
