Trying the President Grant II CB radio on the Plateau de Caussols. If CB proves to be a good local means of communications, long distance contacts remain unreliable.

Radio field operations at the Granges de la Brasque, old military radio and telegraphy outpost part of the Maginot line (1930s). I set up in the mountains for regional contacts on 80m using a half-wave end-fed antenna, Elecraft K1 and Minion SDR.

We always need a good 50-Ohm dummy load. Here is a cheap build using a Chinese 250W resistor from Ebay. I will later incorporate an RF probe, also mentioned here. The case is a Hammond 1550Q cast aluminum, which will not dissipate 250W. You would need a heat-sink for anything more than 30W probably... Resistor: Search for "RFP 250N50."
