Termination Load: The termination load was made of from 100 resistors of 470 ohm-5 watts. Figure 4 shows the design of the load. I have bought the resistors from China (e- bay) and what I say that the resistors are identically that are at D- Key.

But I just save money... Anyway I have termination load for 10 USD that can stand 500 watts and should be alive at nearest lighting strike. I did taps at 460, 415 and 350 Ohm at the termination load to try best match of the antenna with transformer and transceiver. Picture 7 shows the termination load placed inside of the food plastic box.
