I did take pictures, lots of them. I'm gradually trimming them
down & making thumbnails as time permits.

The regulator was a TI (nee PowerTrends) unit, they
give free samples - all I did was add a couple of caps and
a bridge rectifier. I'll be sure to post a schematic
when I put the page together.

I could have used less, but I wanted to mount the connector
at the bottom of the box, and have a drip loop. Quoted loss
is 0.3dB, the connectors probably lose me more.
