[Test-Equipment] Dummy load

[Rasputin Novgorod]

Hi Guys:

Thank you for all the advice about my dummy load. I connected
the dummy load to my MFJ antenna analyzer. It measured 50 ohms
in the lower frequencies and wiggled (+ & -) a few ohms in the
UHF. Later, I found a calibration sticker that said the same
thing, so I'm confident my resistor is undamaged.

There is a faint odor of oil about the thing, and a very faint
film of oil residue around the filler screw. I'm going to drain
the load, then refill with mineral oil which is easier to find
than transformer oil, and will probably have less smell. If 
possible, I'll replace the gasket on the filler screw. Then I'll
place it on newpaper and watch for leaks.

Thanks again,
/b
