[Amps] Needed: Easy to Wind Low Value Meter Shunt Wire

[w2cqm@juno.com]

Hopefully, someone can suggest an easy technique to wire meter shunts in
fractional parts of an ohm.  I just spent some tedious, cut and try time
finally getting a 1 ma meter to read 1 amp of plate current using  an
oddball  combination of four (4) sand type mini value resistors in
parallel.  It's cumbersome,  works OK,  but looks awful.  Is there a
retail supplier  of  low value nichrome type resistance  wire (per linear
length)   that allows for the quick calculation and fabrication of meter
shunts within a range of  fractional parts of an ohm? (e.g.,  .04-.05
ohms)  Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Ron W2CQM/3
