I agree with Tom's arguments, just I like to add that when composition resistors of proper power aren't available, a parallel of metal film resistor are easy to find, withstand more power and show le
I'm confused as to what I should or should not use at to terminate my three soon-to-be-going up EWE's (840 ohms, according to the QST article). Any help on type and source is appreciated. Something s

Hi Eric, I used the rugged Allen Bradley "2-watt" linear taper pots for my phased EWE's....never have had a problem with burned-out pots. One can use fixed 1-watt "real" carbon resistors (not carbon
Eric, Digi-Key sells 1 and 2 watt ceramic composition resistors that are joule rated (50 to 80 joules) and carry a 500 to 700 VAC voltage rating. Do a search for the OX/OY series resistors on their w
Hi Eric, I use carbon composition resistors on all my Beverages. I just solder them to the wire, clamp the other end to the ground rod with a hose clamp and let it hang in the open air. An advantage
With a EWE antenna or any other small-area antenna of that family like Flags, Pennants, or small verticals almost any style resistor except wire-wound will work. If it is near a transmitting antenna,
