One time, a few years ago, when I was living near Mobile, AL, I was
testing an MFJ-949E tuner. It was switched to the internal dummy load.
There was an antenna connected to the balanced line binding posts but,
with it switched to the internal dummy load, these were open
internally. I ran a test at 5w into the dummy load and looked at RBN.
My signal had been picked up by a skimmer in NM.

BTW, I have made a 75m QSO on a dummy load. I think I was using Radio Shack
coax back then (in the 1970's when I worked for the company).
When I lived about three miles away from Mt. San Bruno south of San
Francisco, I routinely worked all of the VHF and UHF repeaters there
using a dummy load! Amazing what a clear eye-ball path can do.
