Take a look at http://www.k4eaa.com/dummy.html

The Heathkit dummy load was good for a kilowatt for a limited time,
but you probably do not need a dummy load for that much power.


You might be able to use one of your carbon gouging rods, but would
need to take off the copper except at the ends and probably drill a
hole thru the center to raise the resistance. That would also help
with skin effect. Might be fun to try.
