2. Our Make a Frequency Stable L-C VFO notes from 2014 - 2024
The notes = a 6 page pdf file. Mostly discusses the temperature coefficent of VFO parts to hopefully help builders get a little more frequency stability if they choose to make an ancient/vintage Inductor + Capacitor (L-C) Variable Frequency Oscillator.

3. Our Gilbert Cell Mixer notes from 2023
By request. Happily, we kept a draft text document of Part 1 of our former blog post that got about 7K views per month in 2023. This version lacks my minor edits-over-time + nicer 'Blogger' formatting -- and Part 2. Part 2 featured some example-concept, discrete BJT mixer designs. The file notes = a 16 page pdf document of my raw notes with figures. These notes were even referenced in a successful doctoral thesis by an Asian PhD scholar.

4. Our old x86 Windows GUI NPN Bias application
Above — A screen-shot of the Bash version of NPN-bias running in the terminal. I work on it from time to time -- and plan to add some AC small-signal analysis.
