[Antennas] Help me build a dummy load

Tue, 29 Jul 2003 10:43:44 -0600

Try a 50 Ohm 200 Watt Resistor! But don't touch it if you feed it with
200 Watts for very long.  Hi! Hi!

PS: There is a full schematic and color photos on the web somewhere that
shows how to build a copy of the Heathkit "Cantenna".  I will try to find
it.  If I do I will post the address.
It is essentially just a bunch of resistors in parallel to obtain a
higher power handling capability at 50 Ohms attached to an SO239 chassis
mount coax connector mounted to the top of a paint can.  The paint can is
filled with mineral oil to allow even more power dissipation.  The old
Heathkit units were rated at a full Kilowatt.
