Resistive tap built with sharpie PCB etch

I'm keen not to burn out the input to the spectrum analyser. It's 50 ohms
in with a maximum of +30dBm. The solution is to transmit into a dummy load
and sample the signal with a resistive tap.A good candidate for a simple
PCB and I used Paul Taylor, VK3HN's, technique of drawing resist on the
board with a sharpie. Components are all soldered on to the top of the
board so laying them out to figure
