Geoff,
I have a couple of Cantennas, but the last time I loaded the Henry into
it for any length of time it got REAL hot. The SWR was still fine, so I
don't think she'll take high wattage very long. I tried the same thing
with an MFJ oil filled load (like the Cantenna) and it heated even
faster. I'd just like to have something I don't have to worry about
while making adjustments.
Thanks for the advice...

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.
