[TowerTalk] Air Dummy Loads

[KD7JYK DM09]

I bought an MFJ-264 years ago.  The resistance was something like 20 
some-odd Ohms (for some reason 17 Ohms just popped into my head, so 
maybe that was it), and there were various issues inside, missed solder 
joints, cold joints, burned joints, and solder bridges.  It was total 
crap.  Some may be better, some may be worse, but the one I bought was 
in this condition, new, from MFJ.  Inside views of the Palstar model 
indicate one big load, this may prevent some issues as it's simple, so 
based on internal appearance alone, I'd go with that.  I didn't see any 
inside pics of the Vectronics model, but it looks like an unpainted, and 
relabeled MFJ.
