[Elecraft] Dummy loads for dummies

[Wes Stewart]

Paul,

You've got a lot of hand wringing comments about how those are probably wire 
wound resistors.  They probably are but in practice it might not matter.  It all 
depends on what exactly you are trying to accomplish.   You don't say what your 
usage is or how much power your TX is putting out.
