Minor point, if I read this right......

RF current reading times RF current reading times 50 ohms to get the
power in the dummy load.  (i.e. I^2 * Z

Power is Voltage, (E) times Current, (I).  Since E is I  times
Impedance,
(Z);

Power becomes I squared times Z, where Z is the load, 50 ohms.  Multiply
the
RF current reading times 50 ohms to get the power in the dummy load.

Now, if you are measuring DC current, that DC Power is simply I times E.
