[Elecraft] 50 Ohm Load - source?

[Kevin Stover]

Because it's the piddely stuff like connectors and coax and dummy loads, etc...that will run you out of the hobby. Ask any boat owner. There is a reason why they call boats holes in the water you pour money into. Same thing for planes at engine overhall time.

If you can save bucks by building a 130W dummy load in a cheap 1 qt/ paint can with a handfull of resistors and some mineral oil why not?

As the great philosopher Angus Young of AC/DC once said..."this ain't high opera".
