Really enjoyed this Hans, and learnt plenty from it too! Greater presentation. 73 de M3KXZ
ReplyDeleteWonderful effort from Hans, just shows there's quite a bit of testing out amplifier theory in this challenge. Loved seeing the device under a clear perspex box, in case of 2N2222A spontaneous destruction.
