Just stop all this and go buy one
Lots of them listed under "Ham Radio Dummy Load" on e-bay at about a 
buck a watt.

I bought a NARDA 40w load with N-connector good to 12.6 GHz for $40 
(from a friend on-line).
Yeah I had a 100w light bulb and a Heath Cantenna way back

Now mine mostly made by Bird, NARDA, M/A, Midwest MW, etc.  My 500w 
is made by Sierra and I paid maybe $50 at a flea market (it has 
built-in power meter).  SWR is not quite 1:1.00 (1.4 as I recall) - so what.
