At a single frequency (or depending on the Q, a relatively narrow range).
The laws of physics, as described by the classic resonant frequency
curves, apply in full. Wire wound resistors as an RF dummy load are a
really bad idea.
Those of you saying you have 55.xx ohm loads. How did you measure them?
With an ohmeter? What counts is the Z at RF, not at DC. Only in
Wonderland do resistors have a constant value from DC to daylight.
