Thank you! That is what I was planning on doing, unfortunately no access to
lab grade loads. I'll have to do the best I can...

I would use a known-good set of calibration standards to calibrate the

On a related subject, measuring a load or other calibration standard by
putting it back after using it to calibrate the system "to check the
calibration" will only measure your connection repeatability. The
standard will always measure as perfect (or nearly so) because the system
has essentially been told via the calibration standards definitions "this
is a perfect 50¦¸ termination" even if it is not.
