Hi Ross,

After all of the frustrating blind alleys & shattered hopes that I
personally went through with this thing, my advice to you is simply this: go
buy yourself a good used, or new, Vibroplex semi-automatic bug...!   :>)

There is NO such thing as a "...free lunch", no matter HOW simple & tempting
the circuit before you may be.
