[Elecraft] Difference in dummy loads

[Walter Underwood]

An air-cooled dry dummy load is just fine for 100 W. I like the Oak Hills Research RFL-100 kit. $50 and easy to build. It uses twenty 5 W resistors.

I wrote up my build of that kit here.

If you want to buy instead of build, I’d look at one of the used Bird dummy loads listed here. There are other sites, but this one seems to have a good selection.
