I am glad that the circuit is<br \/>forgiving because I grabbed what I had at hand to make it and it ain&#8217;t<br \/>pretty by any means, but I have included a photo of the build as was the<br \/>deal and also a snapshot of proof of oscillation from my oscilloscope.<br \/>I&#8217;ll do it up right soon and try connecting it to my arduino to send<br \/>some morse code out to the ether.
