Hi Lawrence. I see that you're making good progress with your project: well done.
I'm sure that you don't need any words of encouragement from me on this, but I feel I need to write the following . . . .
This thread is unusual since it does not come into the usual "this doesn't work, what do I do now?" category. As such, it doesn't readily invite responses from others and you're probably aware of that: your posts are in the nature of news bulletins, which is just fine. Obviously I can't speak for anyone else, but I do read every report that you send in - and read them with interest. As a case-hardened experimenter myself, I well know that with projects like this it is easy to 'run out of steam' during their development due to many reasons: sometimes mere enthusiasm is not enough! Nevertheless, you do appear to have that in abundance here, and although I do not know if you hold an Amateur Radio ticket *, your progress in this project is very much in the classical mould of traditional Amateur Radio. So to conclude: please keep 'at it'. One day, hopefully, this project will transpire into a fully-completed radio (bread-board to finished product): I look forward to that final event.
So please keep going: you've put a lot of effort into this; I'm sure you'll get there in the end.
*you may have mentioned this once: if so, I've forgotten: my memory is none too good these days!
Aside: this post crossed with Lawrence's immediate post above.
