[Elecraft] Don't have a 50W dummy load

[Johnny Siu]

Hello Tony,
As suggested by Don W3FPR, you do need a proper 100W dummy load for long run.  Dummy load is  not expensive especially in the used market.  There are still plenty of left-over from the  paging industry.  My dummy load is a waste product dismantled from a paging station.
Finish the TX gain calibration first and look for a proper dummy load later.

For those who may be wondering, I received some off-line emails which
actually tried to answer my question. The winner was the suggestion that I
rubber-band my little resistor array (which is actually good for 10W, not
5W as I said before) to a baggie filled with ice. Thanks to all who
provided constructive responses!
