Dear Brushbeater,

Sincerely, Someone You Know
Many thanks! I’ll add it to the list brother.
Looking at some of the field antennas, how do you make or source the 400-600 ohm connectors?
Thanks for all your knowledge and teachings!
They’re not connectors, they’re resistors. You can use carbon rods, but they’re also pretty common on either ebay or amazon.
Can you post a link to these resistors? I have searched Amazon, Ebay, and several electronic parts houses and cant find what I am looking for. I can find 400 ohm but only 1/4 watt. In one post you said 400 ohm 10 watt. I can not find these anywhere. Since I don’t know what I am looking for I may have skipped over it and not realized. Any help would be much appreciated.

I too have been looking for higher wattage non-inductive resistors to make a Terminated Dipole (ideally — 600 ohm at 50 watts)
I looked up the link you provided, and it said that it was a “wirewound” resistor.
From prior readings, I was under the belief that “wirewound” were NOT “non-inductive” and that carbon or carbon type resistor was needed for a non- inductive” purpose.
I’m no expert, so could you clarify this issue
Thanks
The ones I linked are what we use in class. They work.
You should probably include the third Edition of the Survival and Austere Medicine ebook.

Written by people who are in the know and have been doing it for a while.
Thanks brother!
After the scout course in TN, I want to upgrade my chest rig. Tell me again where you got your and any other useful equipment web sites.
Thanks

Mr. Scout, God bless you! You’ve become a household name with me and my CinC/CCH better half, in the past 6 months.
We’re not as well prepared as I’d like, but your work has us far better than I could’ve hoped for!
I’ve been getting some of the stuff you’ve recommended. Most of it I can figure out. The 2 UV-5R’s however… my only radio experience is my dad’s 1946 Zenith TransOceanic. (still works). But I’m a PC geek, reckon I’ll keep trying.
I’ve put 25% of my late mom’s life insurance into 2 rnd trip to DC for 1/6/21. I figure it’s the last chance for our President… and peace.
We’re in Eugene Oregon, don’t know a single person we can trust. Hopefully, we’re outta here for SC soon.
Keep the Faith, brother!
Thanks for the kind words brother. I’m going to be in your part of the world soon.
