OHR has teamed up with
the Colorado QRP Club to offer the handiest dang gadget this
side of the Pecos - a 10-Watt
dummy load kit! This neat little package can be tossed
into your backpack, Field
Day
box or your travel luggage. Also, keep one close by in the shack or at
the workbench.
The CQC RFL-10 Dummy
Load Kit consists of two 5 Watt 100 Ohm metal oxide resistors connected
in parallel, giving you a nice non-inductive 50 Ohm DC
resistance. We've field tested these babies and they produce
a remarkably flat 1:1 SWR from 1.8
- 30 MHz.
The main body of the RFL-10 is an S0-239 coaxial socket which
allows you to create a nice in-line package. Two sturdy adapters are
included, one that allows you to connect directly to an SO-239 coax
connector, and another that allows you to connect to a BNC
socket. There are two solder connections, and that's it.
When completed the RFL-10 will dissipate
10W continuously, and up to 25W for brief periods.
A part of the proceeds from the sale of each RFL-10 will go
to the Colrado QRP Club. If you are a QRP operator you should consider
joining this terrific organization, a Colorado club with
internatinal membership. Click to visit the CQC web site.
