Make your own dummy load
Had a friend (we wont name him) pop into the shack today with a beautiful TS-520 in almost mint condition. It even had a DG-5 digital readout. Only problem was he couldn’t get it to transmit.
After a short time i asked him if he had noticed the SG on/off switch on the rear panel. Nope was the reply. Well there’s the trouble it needs to be ON to supply power to the screen grids.
DOH!
After much laughter and a generous amount of joking i asked if he had a Dummy load to use to “tune up” the old girl prior to transmitting. No not yet was the reply.
I told him i was sure i had a good design for one somewhere and proceeded to search through old AR’s and QST’s until i found just the thing.
A great design from Ross VK2KVV that was published in the Feb 1999 WIA Amateur Radio Magazine. Its called the HF-MT Dummy Load . HF-MT stands for “High Frequency Milo Tin”.
I remember making a similar one years ago and this is just the thing to get your home brew juices going.
I present it here in PDF format for your enjoyment and education
Hey there, I think your blog might be having browser compatibility issues.
When I look at your blog site in Opera, it looks fine but when opening in Internet Explorer,
it has some overlapping. I just wanted to give you a
quick heads up! Other then that, amazing blog!

An interesting discussion is worth comment. I think that you should publish more about this subject, it may not be a taboo subject but typically people do not discuss such subjects.
To the next! Many thanks!!
Hey! I just wanted to ask if you ever have any problems with hackers?
My last blog (wordpress) was hacked and I ended up losing many months of hard
work due to no data backup. Do you have any solutions to prevent hackers?
Look at my web blog; https://www.cucumber7.com/
Very good blog! Do you have any tips for aspiring writers?
I’m planning to start my own blog soon but I’m a little lost on everything.
Would you propose starting with a free platform like WordPress or go for a paid option? There are so many choices out there that
I’m totally overwhelmed .. Any suggestions?
Thank you!
