It's a good idea to check the resistance of any used dummy load, especially
one that has some age on it.

The resistance of my 30+ year old Heath Cantenna gradually reduced to 42
ohms.  This was enough error for the power meter to indicate a potential
transmitter problem.

W1GA is selling non-inductive replacement resistors on eBay for use in the
Cantenna.  I purchased one and it brought the resistance back to 50 ohms.
