I had one of each sitting out on the benchtop for a day or so while I noodled about what to use to give it some structure … then a bit of accidental juxtaposition made me realize just how neatly (?) the parts fitted together:

A bit of tricky bending of the leads, a few solder joints, and there you have it!

(yes, it actually works!)

I’m still debating whether to use a little piece of tape or a blob of RTV silicone to give this thing enough structure to use in the field. I will report again soon.

A different view, showing the connections better. The dark flecks are part of the plastic tabletop, not dirt!

Thanks for visiting driftlessqrp!
