HF Dummy Load
I want to build a 50 ohm dummy load capable of handling 100W at 3-30 MHz. I think I can simply connect twenty 1K, 5W resistors in parallel. Is it really that simple? Will I need some sort of capacitor to pass the RF?

buddha01 - Thanks, I took your advice and found a forum. I am awaiting reply.
It is for an amateur radio setup. I want to be sure I have the radio tuned properly into a dummy load before I connect it to an antenna.
fibifooz - You and your husband rock! Thanks to you both. I like to build my own stuff when possible but I will have a look on eBay.
