Dummy Load

[Jim Danehy]

I worked K8MFO on 160 which is 250 miles from me. Used a Heathkit Dummy loaf with oil in the can.

I'd bet a lot of money that something besides the dummy load was doing
most of the radiating.

I am limited in antennas because of the rental apartment rules so I use a mag-loop at 15 watts. I've often wondered whether I would have a better signal running 100 W into my MFJ dummy load.  Maybe I should try it!

Don-K8MFO and I attended MSU together in the 1960's; old time
friend.  We visited him at his home in OH a couple years ago and
found he was in the Christmas tree business (my parents ran a
Christmas tree farm).  Don has been a long time Dxer and CW buff (has
a tremendous collection of keys).

Don't recall but I think Don has Elecraft gear in addition to his
collection of oldies.  Thanks for reminding me of my old friend!

Someday I will load my invert-L to operate 160.
