[TowerTalk] Oil For Dummy Load

[D. Scott MacKenzie]

Unfortunately they don't give the viscosity of the oil.  Most transformer
oil is mineral at a viscosity of 10-20 cst @ 40C.  However, mineral oil can
range from 10-1000 cSt.  An identical viscosity mineral oil would perform in
an identical fashion.

The chart is here: http://www.tinyurl.com/wa7prc-cantenna

My scrap parts 1500W dummy load is here: http://www.tinyurl.com/wa7prc-dummy
Though all the parts were free to me, outfits such as Henry Radio

(http://stores.ebay.com/Henry-Radio) sell RF power resistors for reasonable
cost on ebay.
