Rick,
Plastar sells a very NICE 5kw Dummy Load using Large Capacitors!
Well built and should do the trick even has a fan inside to keep
things cooled down!
Or you could buy you a five gallon pail of Mineral oil, take a
heating element from a hot water heater, check the impedance, they are
NOT all the same. install this down into the Oil, with the proper
connector attached and 'Voila' you have a gigantic DUMMY Load.

A good, old Heathkit Cantenna would hold a kW, but I don't remember for
how long.
As Tony said, you can take the element from the Heathkit Cantenna, and
dunk it in 5x the oil. Cantennas do take a lot, but I've seen one boil,
with a kW into it, for 5 minutes.
