[Antennas] re: building a dummy load

Fri, 08 Aug 2003 21:14:02 -0700

Depending upon what power output you want to use.  There is something not too 
good about it, I believe it is that the impedance changes with the temperature of the 
filament.  However, I have used and know of other hams that have used a lightbulb 
as a load.

But, again I ask for a solidstate device, why does anyone want to use a dummy 
load?  They were used to set up the Tx, then one had to load to the antennas with a 
transmatch.
