The ant FM bug

[Tom]

After all theese years I've found unfinished (actually unstarted - the pcb hasn't been touch with soldering iron yet) FM bug kit from Talking Electronics. Not really a kit, PCB came as free gift with the magazine, I gathered then what it looks like most of the parts. Unfortunately the magazine itself went missing... found a couple Talking Electronics in my possesion but none have The Ant article. Anyone has the original article and willing to share a copy? I don't even know now if the components I put together in the past are proper values or the closest ones I had on hand at the time. Thouhgt it would be nice to finish it after that time. BTW, anyone remember when that magazine with the PCB came out? My guess is middle to late 80's.

Thanks, Tom

The magazine is there but $25 (US) is a bit overpriced for me. I think I bought the original cheaper than half of that.

I have the original, however I loaned it to a friend a couple of weeks
ago, and he's buggered off overseas for work since.

If you haven't found it in the next couple of weeks, let me know, and
I'll ask for them back (he'll be back by then), and I'll scan the
relevant pages.

Let me know off-group, do the usual surgery on my email address to make
it valid.
