Hello,

Take a 50 Ohm resistor ( carbon! ) ( 5 Watt if you can find it ) and slide one
end with it's wire into a coax connector, so that the resistor is now hidden
inside the coax connector. Solder the resistor's wire sticking out of the
center pin and cut off the excess. Then, solder the wire on the other end of
the now hidden resistor to the coax connector frame and cut off the excess
wire. You now have an almost free 50 Ohm dummy load. If you can find one, glue
the protective cap that comes on the end of a spool of coax over the open end
of the connector for neatness. The only problem I have with mine is keeping up
with where it is.

Hey all!

So, I had a minor family emergency come up over the weekend. My
father got his thumb caught in the blade of his table saw Thursday
afternoon, and ended up having to have emergency surgery on Friday to
have part of it removed. Because of that, I did not get to complete
publication of the Banner like I had planned this weekend. I will
attempt to get it done later this evening.

Also, I have a meeting for my local CERT team this evening, and
because of that, will not be able to call the Monday sideband net. If
anyone else is willing, go ahead and call it and have a little fun
(Doc, K5OSA, maybe you should try your hand at it! It's easy to do!)

Have a good day, everyone!
