[Heathkit] Dummy Resistor

[Rick Gouge VER7RiK]

Hello. I`am wondering if some of you would mind helping me out with a ohm
reading check on your cantenna. I pick up a cantenna and when i open it up
to check the oil it smell pretty burnt and the resistor look burnt too, i
took and resistance reading on the resistor and i found it to read about
67.9 ohms on my fluke 87III. I found another resistor and it reads 66.5. Now
can anybody tell me what they have on there`s? I took my reads straight from
the resistor out of the can but you should be able to get the same reading
by just testing where the coax hooks up the the 259 connector. And if
anybody has any info on how critical the ohms have to be to 52 ohms, please
come ahead with your knowledge or wisdom. Thankyou in advance for your help.
