Can HP microwave loads be used? I have a set good to 24 GHz and another to
50 GHz.

My only concern with the VNWA is in its ability to measure Topband
antenna systems where sweeps are required into the AMBC band.
I'm a VERY happy owner of the 3E model VNWA. I've made measurements on my
160M antennas with no difficulty, but I'm out in the boonies, not close
enough to strong BC signals to have seen any issues.
As to precision of calibration loads -- after I got the VNWA, I did a
search looking for calibration loads, and quickly learned that if you want
better than 1% precision, it's easy to spend as much for the load as for
the VNWA itself!
