Oh yeah, it's nice to actually see why you never use a wire wound for a RF dummy load. 👍

When your getting to the higher frequencies then you might want to start thinking about the leads to the components as well. cant beat a good old lump of carbon to form a nice 50 ohm load.

My first 50 Ohm RF dummy load when I was a kid was a 100 Ohm, 200 W wire-wound resistor with a slider tap I set at halfway. I think I could have used it with a capacitor to tune AM radio stations. I learned a lot.

That RF Analyzer is co cool!! The green screen CRT display combined with the floppy drive... Remember when the old word processors had a floppy drive, everything used to have a floppy drive on it and I thought it made things that much better. USB ports are far more useful but they have a cheapness to them 🙂

I use 10, 500 Ohm, 2W carbon resistors, (I have a few thousand of them,) mounted in parallel, (of course,) between 2 pieces of PCB material for my QRP dummy load. With essentially no lead length other than the PCB material, careful placement and connector positioning I've found it useful to well past 70 cm without problem.

I'm glad this is exactly what this video was. I have some basically identical resistors and I used to (a long time ago) work on VRC-524s, and they have an air coil in them (very) approximately the size and shape of the windings of that resistor. We had some very large 1kw RF 50 ohm loads with N type connectors on them. I don't know whats in them other than oil since they make a sloshing sound, but they're rated up to 1GHz. Little jealous of your equipment. Whenever I wanted to do this I had to use a frequency generator and analyzer to get an idea of the actual impedance across a spectrum.

The loop formed by the leads and body of the resistors produce an inductance, so minimizing that decreases total inductance of the load. Also, many of those inductors in parallel decrease inductance as parallel inductance are like serial capacitance.

0:10 I'm deeply offended (LOL !!!) by the "10Mhz" on the label just visible at the bottom of the video frame. * MHz ;-) !!!!! Hmmm... More seriously, perhaps you could do a video on the precisely-correct formatting of electrical units (e.g. capitalization), as so many seem to be unaware. For example, below I see a few comments with "Ohm" when it should be 'ohm' to distinguish the unit (ohm, Ω) from the famous ex-human (Georg Simon Ohm). There are general rules about using a capital letter for unit symbols that are derived from names, e.g. Hz; but there are some exceptions. Also, mHz is millihertz, MHz is megahertz. Just a suggestion, as there's a need. 🙂

I knew about resistor inductance issues, but thought those are not that important on HF. And then I built a 100w dummy load that behaves exactly as that bad example :( barely usable up to 3Mhz. Now a dumb question: could adding a capacitor in parallel maybe fix it?

I think that a capacitor in series can "fix it" for one frequency but normally you want board band dummy loads.

Wonder what the change would be if you slipped a piece of copper pipe over the big resistor ,to make a shorted turn on that inductance, or put a steel screwdriver shaft in, that served as a very lossy core.
