Too tired, so instead I took the wife out for some Mexican food and a movie, and when I got back I relaxed a bit. I have the feeling in my tired state I would have just made mistakes. I did dust off my old Manhattan style constructed oscillator since AK6L was going down the path of building them, and I decided to hook it up to my $20 oscilloscope and see what it looked like. It’s currently got a 7.040 crystal in it, and I must admit: the waveform looks pretty nice (excuse the iPhone picture, I haven’t been able to find the SD card reader for my Canon, and I didn’t spend any time improving the lighting).

Not bad at all.
