Hi, Jim;
If your are working HF, a few 2 watt carbon comp resistors in parallel
will work Put them in a can if shielding is required, but derate the
dissipation somewhat and consider heat sinking them. I made one by
soldering resistors between the center conductor of some RG-8 and two
pigtails of the braid. It gives low SWR even at 2 meter frequency. I
didn't shield it and I never apply power for an extended time.
