The FFT function in my scope confirms a good clean signal and it sounds great when I listen to it on another radio. I am sure that the photo depicts one of the worst looking MMMs to date.

It was a great introduction to very basic homebrew electronics.<\/strong><\/div>\n<div id=\"yiv2143066699yui_3_16_0_1_1435950909738_2771\"> <strong><br clear=\"none\" \/><\/strong><\/div>\n<div id=\"yiv2143066699yui_3_16_0_1_1435950909738_2772\"> <strong>Thanks again,<\/strong><\/div>\n<div id=\"yiv2143066699yui_3_16_0_1_1435950909738_2773\"> <strong>John Stockman, KC2THY<\/strong><\/div>\n<div id=\"yiv2143066699yui_3_16_0_1_1435950909738_2774\"> <strong>Morristown, NJ<\/strong><\/div>\n<p> <strong><\/strong><\/p>\n<p> Our book: &#8220;SolderSmoke &#8212; Global Adventures in Wireless Electronics&#8221; <a href=\"http:\/\/soldersmoke.com\/book.htm\">http:\/\/soldersmoke.com\/book.htm<\/a> Our coffee mugs, T-Shirts, bumper stickers: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cafepress.com\/SolderSmoke\">http:\/\/www.cafepress.com\/SolderSmoke<\/a> Our Book Store: <a href=\"http:\/\/astore.amazon.com\/contracross-20\">http:\/\/astore.amazon.com\/contracross-20<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bill, I have been a listener of the Soldersmoke Podcasts for several years now and I have worked my way through most of the back episodes of the podcast.
