[Elecraft] Dumb(?) dummy load question

Eric, the RS resistors are inductive, and probably wire wound and unsuited
for 50 ohm impedance to RF. You would need compensation capacitor networks
for them for each band.
You only measured their DC values as 50 ohms. Impedance is an AC /RF
quantity.
RS used to carry a true QRP dummy load, black with fins and coax connector.
MJF and Ten Tech sell low cost non inductive dry resistor loads. Ten Tec's
is a kit.
