I agree that testing tuners (and baluns too) into purely resistive loads 
does not give a very complete picture of how they will work in the real 
world. However I think that the capacitive and inductive reactances 
subtract from each other and leave only resistance and either capacitive 
OR inductive reactance, not both, at any given frequency.
