I quit using 60 W light bulbs when I worked a station in New Jersey from
Memphis, Tennessee!

As a new ham (1958-9) my "dummy load" was a 60 watt light bulb. Even made a
few local contacts with it. Couldn’t afford anything else. A good pi-network could load
most anything, anyway .. :-)

But as a new young ham (1960's) I bought a cantenna (paint can filled with
mineral oil and resistor load immersed) for HF stuff and a Knight-Kit SWR
meter. But as I got older and had more cash I got better stuff.
