[Elecraft] OT: More "Dummy" Ant. Antics

[Dale Putnam]

The old trick of using a light bulb for a dummy load, isn't a dummy load either. I had a Q with a fellow in Texas, from Ft. Collins Colorado, in 1967, on a pair of phased inverted vees.... an inch or so long....held in a vacumn by a clear round glass. 

  I believe it was rated at 60 watt. 

  I, for one, am very happy that we don't have to use light bulbs any longer... and I am ecstatic that we don't have to, but may choose to use things like tubes... but best of all.. I am very pleased to be able to build a top of the line radio, with parts and pieces that arrive in a box.
