A little education, please.

I am working on restoring an old transceiver and linear.  I have a Bird 
43 wattmeter and a Heath Cantenna dummy load.  The wattmeter is for 50 
ohm impedance and I measure the DC resistance of the Cantenna at 70 ohm.

Is there any effect on the wattmeter reading from this mismatch?
