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

[mundschenk55]

Brings back memories
My cantenna as a kid needed "transformer oil". My Dad used to work at the local hydro plant. Got a whole gallon of the best PCB oil no money can buy.

Checked my Cantenna today, 78 ohms.

Took it apart, even measured the raw resistor.

Ordered a replacement from Alan W1GA as someone else mentioned.

eBay # 221724743523 for description and options

Easy disassembly and price war right ... $24.50 shipped.

Thanks for all the info on DL's.
