[Antennas] re: building a dummy load

[William E Hawes]

Hi All,

        Very good replies on using Light Bulbs as a Dummy Load!  The
subject was covered quite well.  However, I use several 300 watt light
bulbs as a "Dummy Load" when mobiles visit me.  "It" keeps them from
blowing out the front end of my TS 870 and Vice Versa.  I have a range of
about 2 miles using my alternate Light Bulb Dummy Load as an Antenna-hi
hi.  When a mobile get "close", I just switch to my special antenna so no
problem for either of "us".  I normally run a KW so have to be careful.
