Default Re: How to open 15W HF dummy load?

However, if you get a good dummy load or power attenuator - something with decent HF-VHF performance surplus from either commercial or military use, then open it at your peril. Many of these contain Beryllium Oxide whose dust can be fatal if inhaled.

Cheapies made for amateur radio are may well be safe, but risks have to be judged before taken.
