Topband: Non-inductive resistors

[i4jmy at iol.it]

Anything has inducvtance/reactance, and a small inductive reactance is not affecting the beverage at all.
Standard film resistors, few turns of resistive metal film compound laying on a very small diameter ,have a small reactance at 2 MHz. 
Some 5x 2W 2200 Ohm in parallel (1/5 also the original inductance) already make a practical and easy, and effective 440 Ohm 10W termination, whose SWR is neglectable at 2 MHz.

Subject : Topband: Non-inductive resistors

> Folks,
> can anyone recommend a source for relatively inexpensive non-inductive resistors.  I have exhausted my supply.  I need  ~ 6 or so resistors in the  450-500 ohm range (1 watt or better) for my beverages.  They are hard to single source and very expensive even in lots.  In addition, many  manufacturers say they are non-inductive but that is not necessarily true at 1.8 MHz.    Carbon composition seem to be the only non-inductive resistors at 2 MHz.
