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

[Fred Jensen]

When I came home from Vietnam in 1967, my new wife bought me a Swan 500. 
  Our next station was to NASA in Houston.  We got settled into an 
apartment, and I needed to fill my Cantenna so on Sunday [first clue], 
we went to the local grocery store to get a gallon of Squibb mineral 
oil.  It only came in quarts so I put 4 in the basket.  Checking out, 
the clerk, with a big grin, [second clue] said, "You're going to drink 
all of that, right?"  Before I could say, "Give me a break!", she 
continued, "Because if you're not, I can't sell it to you on Sunday."  I 
answered, "Yes," she rang it up, and with the same big grin, said as we 
left, "Hope it works for ya'll."
