[Boatanchors] Carborundum R's

[revcom at wbsnet.org]

Pete,

MFJ markets the resistors, and the clips to mount them,
they show them in 50W, 90W and 200W ratings (that is air
cooling, be more with oil) Similar to that used in the Ten-
Tec Model 239, 300W for 30sec, and also the Drake dry
load. One used in Ten-Tec I have is a 'Stakpole' brand.
