Default how much can dummy load carbon resistors stand

Lemme tell you, the last (and first) time I got a burn from RF it certainly
did shock me. Would not have felt comfortable getting the burn on top of a
tower.

No one has ever gotten a shock from high power RF. Burns, yes.

You don't want to do any high power tests while you
are up the tower or on the roof. High power = high
voltage = a long fall if you get a shock!
