In this video, I build a simple QRP Dummy Load that is good for up to 20 watts. It even has test point that you can use a meter to measure the voltage to calculate the power of your transmitter.

Parts needed:
8x 100 ohm 3 watt metal film resistors
1x 1N5711 diode
1x 0.01 uF capacitor
BNC or SO239 connector
