How to Build a Dummy Load for Ham Radio! Post #705.


If you're having trouble viewing this video, please insert this title link into your browser search box: https://youtu.be/V6PcR1mXpt0.  Every amateur radio station should have a "dummy load" as one of its basic test instruments.  Dummy loads or "Phantom Antennas" allow you to test transceivers off the air without creating unnecessary interference. In this well-produced video, Tony Milluzzi (KD8RTT) shows us how to make a simple, inexpensive dummy load that is usable up to 25 watts--perfect for testing QRP or portable radio gear.  You can get the resistor from your "junk box" or from http://digikey.com/product-search. This would make an excellent club project.  For the latest Amateur Radio news and events, please check out the blog sidebars.  These news feeds are updated daily.
