James, there are many possibilities, but if you want a quality dummy 
load at a reasonable price that is also flat (is a constant 50 ohms 
non-reactive) to above 500 MHz, take a look at the 75 watt dummy load 
offered by Ridge Equipment 
https://www.ridgeequipment.com/store/index.html.  It is $12, but you 
will likely want to buy an adapter to the N connector if you don't have 
one already.

Caution, this dummy load is rated at 75 watts, but I would not try to 
push it to 100, even for a short time - those elements are "touchy".

73,
