Topband: Source of terminator resistors for EWE's?

[Michael Tope]

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 webpage.
These should make pretty good RF termination resistors. Values
are in 20% increments, so you may have to parallel and series a few
of them if you need to nail down the resistance to better than 10%.
